shim bank and valve adjustment tool

[LimeyMk1]

I believe Vashy still has it as he is the keeper of the hallowed shim bank.

Drop him a PM or an email and I'm sure he'll be able to help.

I have a spreadsheet somewhere that will work out what shim you need if you want a copy.

[cattouchin]

Right, Cheers I will do!! Think I have a copy of the spreadsheet already but thank you!

[vashy]

I am indeed the keeper of the hallowed shim bank LOL

pm me your address, and I'll send them, just swap out whatever you need and send them back to me when you're done.

Unfortunately as you have only 2 posts you will have to tell us a little about your car

[vashy]

quick update, cattouchin has the shims, and a nicer running engine already it sounds like (:

[BarronMR]

Any chance of a shim swap from the shim bank please. Got an out of spec exhaust shim

Loan of the tool to remove without taking the cam out would be most appreciated if available?

Cheers

Not at the mo', but when it is, no problem.

I could send you an individual shim if you want, just let me know what you need after you measure it.

Just to let everyone know I took delivery of the shim bank and tool today, should now be able to stop that darn ticking this week

[vashy]

checking up on/bumping the shim bank because there are quite a few people building/tuning 4AGs at the mo

Trying to track down the whereabouts of the shim bank & tools

Vashy says another member has them

BarronMR says Gordy75 confirmed receipt of them in October 2010

Gordy is possibly not active on here any more

Does any member know where the bank & tools are located please ?

I donned my sherlock holmes flat cap and tried to track down the shim bank. A lot of the leads just lead to cats, but I have found the shim bank, and it is now back in my possession. elbon50 - pm me.

Peter, do you now have it? Or has someone else got it?

[elbon50]

Vashy has the shim bank & tools now Tom

Go ahead & ask him for them

I don't need them yet

[Lauren]

Peter, do you now have it? Or has someone else got it?

Tom, do we not have enough given the other two lots of shims from the previous engines?

[SuperRedMR2]

I might need this soon, but I expect you would have completed yours by the time my HKS valve springs arrive

[Icsunonove]

Thanks for replies

Yeah, thinking about it I don't think I will need shims, I can always take material from the valve stem if I haven't got all the right shims.

[Mavros]

Any chance I can put my name down for the shim bank? Are the shims the same for a supercharger?

4AGE and 4AGZE heads are the same in that respect so shims are no different.
