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 |

I can't recommend it, but I ran 5 shims in my 2056 for years with no problems and no leaks. Obviously one shim would be best but I ran out of time and money and I had plenty of shims. Used Curil's minty green stuff on all the sealing surfaces.
