Title: Solid Tappet Valve Shims - Supplier Required
Post by: SoundillusioN on 14 February 2011, 16:11

Hi, as per title, who supplies valve shims for 1983 DX Engine and what should I be looking for?  Can I buy them in a set of various sizes cheap enough or is better to find out what I need first?

Not sure, your going to need a selection so you can set them as you go.

Have you tried GSF or ECP.

Thanks, will have a look later.  My heads not standard but that only affects clearances I think.
