The 2cent Cabby

[EwenHayton]

Was meant tobe putting head back on this weekend but has been put back a week! so decided to check the valve adjustment disc messurments so i can fugure out the size needed for the new cam if any at all!
For anyone who dosent know hes what i did "im sure theres other ways but might help someone"

As the camflowers were out already numbered in seperate bags so they go back on the correct valve. With a pair of vise grips (not the correct tool but worked) pulled the shim out to see the number underneth pic below


Finding the size of the disc already in will let me know the thickness needed and how much its out if at all!
Also as the shim kits are pretty expensive and hard to find i found 2 site where you can buy them seperatly or in kits lonked below.

There's a place local to me that does the shims too.

PRECISION SHIMS AUSTRALIA | INLET SHIMS | EXHAUST SHIMS | VALVE SHIMS

Handy if you need some thick ones for reground cams.

Cheers for that Pete, tried finding Aus sites but only came up with motorbike shims
