Need shims for valve clearance setting! Posted by BAAB [Email] (#1214) [Profile/Gallery] (more from BAAB) on Tue, 5 Jul 2011 20:21:07 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
After obtaining a good head for my b-engine, I need new shims in order to get my valves in the correct clearance range. However, I am not able to find the shims in my needed size. Below are the numbers I am working with. Any suggestions on where I can get shims? Thanks!
