Thanks. I haven't messed with shims before so I wanted to know what I have on each valve and their standard equivalent. I will keep a record going forward so that next valve check I will know what shims I will need. I swapped where I could on the exhaust side but that only took care of 2 valves. I do want to reshim the intakes to midrange though. I recorded the swaps/changes on the lower section of the page. It's just not part of the picture as I still need to stop by the STealer tomorrow to swap with them for what I need.I find it more useful to put the clearance value and shim size on the same page next to each other, makes it easier to visualize. No need to convert the shim size to inches, just remember every shim size is equal to 0.001" and do the adjustment on the page with the before/after shim sizes listed.
For example:
looking at that I can decide at a glance if I want to leave it at .007 or adjust it one step to 1.90 to put it in the center of the range. If I happen to have another 1.90 shim available as a spare or from another cylinder then for sure I'll adjust it, otherwise I may just leave it where it is because its still in spec. Seeing all the new sizes needed on the page helps visualize where you can swap shims around rather than buy new ones using circles and arrows to show what's being swapped where.
just a trivia comment on the "in-between" shim sizing.The actual shim sizes go up in steps of 0.025 mm and tend not to wear out.
a 182 shim will be 1.825mm
a 188 shim will be 1.875mm
Aha. Never thought of that...'cos 3 looks very much like 8 when you've got a used shim covered in oil
