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) |

On that particular video the info was purposely left out to keep things simple for a first timer building a 100% stock non modified engine.... (other than the oil pump)
The video we are producing in the spring will have more of this type of info than anyone could ever want, so if some of it's boring- don't bitch! One of the articles I'm working on for my new technical portion of the aircooled technology site goes over deck height in vast detail.... In the mean time if you buy the shims from me I'll help you figure out what you need....... Most big warehouses don't stock the shims because they are a lot of work to make unless you build engines and have to have them.... |
