we got a big problem here, well not really big, but i almost lost all my shims, the guy that washed my head and changed the springs found them in his parts washer. now i have to figure out where exctly they go, i hope they are al lthe same size and then i can just put them in. this sucks awww.

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 2:24 pm

i know where they go but i dont know what ones go where

Post by **Slideways^Jordan** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 8:37 pm

Oh man that dosent sound fun at all

Good luck on your quest.

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 8:44 pm

yea. but i guess all the stock shims are the same size, after reading so it isnt that huge of deal. just involves removing the cams and looking at the rocker arms t o see which goes where

Post by **Slideways^Jordan** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 9:49 pm

ohh yes thats right for a second i thought you were running a SLA setup like i am from the past few times we talked.

and yes IIRC the guide (its the one with the slot in the middle) goes on the left side of the rocker arm and the shim goes on the righthand side. Also all the stock Guides and shims are 3mm so that wouldent be a big problem just make sure their all their 8 guides and 8 Shims, and your set.

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:42 am

hey thanks. yea i looked at pics and it looked liek the sloted on goes on the left, wit hte shim on th right, and i heard they were all 3mm too so should be fine.

Post by **Slideways^Jordan** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 12:04 pm

lol Cool im glad i can Help.

All im waiting on is a oil return line for my topmount turbo setup. Then to finish putting on my R33 F/R Brake conversion i cant wait its gonna be so badass.
