Default Yella Terra shim question...

I purchased a set of yella terra 1.7 rockers from a fellow ls1tech member who didn't have the shims that some with these. Would ANYONE happen to know the thickness of these shims? I've searched high and low and can't find anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm curious as well. I'm going to be using .062" shims on my Harland Sharp rockers and am wondering if that will present valve cover clearance issues or not?

I've had trouble locating them and my last spot would be in my attic. I'll keep looking but I would also try contacting Yella Terra for the shim size.

You can get different size shims from McMaster Carr. On my Yella Terra's I ended up with 0.090 shims to get a centered narrow wipe pattern. You really need to check the wipe pattern to determine what size shim to use. Almost every uses at least the shims they provide about 0.050.
