I need three .30mm shims for the end play. The three that I have are .31 and gives me almost 0 end play. I see them at Auto Atlanta but they want almost 20.00 for each of them. Seems like a lot when the type one shims are only 3.00 so if someone has a better source for them please let me know.

Mark, Have there been any reports of issues with the shim material hardness like we are now seeing on 616 motors (356/912). Reputable shops (Cranky Jack for one) and DIY folks are seeing some cases where these wear, causing drastic changes in end play in short periods of time, and damaging the engine. Just curious... |

I haven't seen or heard anything bad yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Just wanted to share, since this has been an issue for the 356/912 community. Here are a couple threads from the 912BBS if anyone is curious. http://www.912bbs.org/vb/showthread.php?50...t=shim+hardness http://www.912bbs.org/vb/showthread.php?45...light=blanching I know these are different parts, but probably similar sources and processes. |
