barrel shims, whatever you want to call them.... these are used to obtain desired deck height. i thought there would be alot more options out there since this step has been emphasized as very important. i found some available in .010", .020", .030".... but of course, in my first measurement, i would need .025" on one of the cylinders (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) so just a couple of questions:
what are your sources of cylinder spacers? can you stack cylinder spacers? (i don't see why not, just want an expert to confirm) |

You can do it this way and save the wait. Find some aluminum sheet .025 thick and cut your own. I cut Rob Watsons .040 shims that way and they were very consistant. Use a gasket cutter. UNLIKE a machinist that would try to cut them on a lathe..... never get them all the same. Not to mention cost you an arm and a leg.
