:lol: :lol: :lol:

ok sorry but that was a real funny question there are about 40 different sizes of shims/rocker guides you'll have to be a bit more spacific on what youve done?

81 different thicknesses actually ;-)

I think he means what to set the gap too, anyway.

The gap should be set tp about 6 - 7 thou

don't forget each valve has it's own shim and you have to get the rocker parallel to the cam as well as getting the gap correct!
