This is how I did mine. Turned out perfect, but never got to try it.
Screwed up the pick up bolt hole.

I'll ship it out for $20 if someone thinks they can back out out the broken bolt.

Any idea how much the .100" shim would effect oil pressure?

A few years ago I made a few .030" shims for a guy that builds honda's. Said when he "boosted" (his words) the motor, they needed more oil psi to lube the turbo better.

Idk if they worked or not, I made them, he paid me, and that's the end of it.

One of those links say a 0.095" shim will give 41 psi at hot idle, and 75 psi bypass. It also says a #8 machine washer is a perfect fit and 0.047" thick.
