When calculating compression ratio, is it a no-no to use more than one shim under the cylinder to get the desired DH?
Thanks, Bill |

Three shims max, but I would get shims made by RIMCO to the correct thickness.

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Dec 11 2011, 11:49 PM)  Three shims max, but I would get shims made by RIMCO to the correct thickness. Even with good sealant, will I be adding additional opportunity for leaks with 2 shims vs. 1? |
