Need shim info for springs and rocker shaft... I need some .030 shims to compensate for my valves being recessed-- Do you know where to look for these, and what specific sizes I'll need? Is there anything special I need to know about raising the rocker shaft up?
I'm using comp 918 springs,btw...
Thanks fellas <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Need shim info for springs and rocker shaft... You should be ok with using a VSI shim #107. If you want .060" thickness use #A107. If you want .030" thickness use #B107. If you add "HP" to the end of the number, you will get case hardened shims. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
They are also available in .015" thickness with #C107. Most engine machine shops should carry these shims. If you have any trouble finding them, send me an email and I'll try and provide more help. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
