I have a load of engine shims in the 2.75/2.80 range. I'm never going to be able to use them. Most of the ones I seem to need are in the 2.55-2.70 range (over a collection of 5 t300s). Any ideas as to swapping them for a useful size?............or are they just scrap? Thanks Rob
we all have a pile of that very same size shim :ImaPoser
save em for if and when you do a valve job as that's what you'll be needing with new valves
My Triumph dealership didn't give me any flack about trading those sizes for the sizes I needed when I did my valve adjustment.
Well, it just shows, don't throw anything away. Took the lid of my new steamer tonight, shimmed it all up, used all my 275 and 2.80 shims and I actually need to buy a 2.85................the engine has done 20,000 miles and seems as new..........amazing!!
