I need to add aluminum spacers under my valve spring pockets that are 1.437" OD, .645" ID and I need them in two thicknesses; 0.120" & 0.160" thick....any idea's where I can get them? All I see are shims 0.015", 0.030" & 0.060" thick!

I did a quick search and the .060 was also the thickest I could find. You may have to have something custom made.
