if you crank your neck 85 degrees to the left....from another forum wrote:what happened to the other three?
you can see intake valve #2 is currently @ .010" (spec is .008"), with a .1122" shim. This means replacing with an .1142" shim should get me to spec. The other 2 intake valve, 5 and 6, are currently @ .008" with the .1122 shim. The other 13 were significantly tighter, and if I had a full stock of thin shims (.0984" through .1024") I might just shim it... but I TRY to think of the client/next guy... and if I keep common shim types in there, when this client goes for camshafts in his future... he should still be within standard - common size shim distances.
