yes...shims required. Are they suggesting the buckets should actuate directly on the retainers??

X 2. How are they proposing you set the valve lash without shims?

[S13 GTR]

yeah thats what there tellin me but i didn't think ya could

[NYTSKY]

What are they telling you? And didnt think what??

Not making sense mate.

[S13 GTR]

also do i have to increase the lenght of the valves or is that what the shims do? sorry if this is a stupid question just tryin to figure out some things beofre they guys doin it ruin my head

[NYTSKY]

Why would you take your head with expensive parts to a workshop that you think has know idea what they are doing?

[S13 GTR]

beacuse i was told by many people to go to this shop and once i've started to deal with them i'm thinkin other wise

[ti2l]

you will dfinitely need shims... i would be going to the workshope.. picking up your stuff and leaving. as Fineline said.. they will NOT be able to set the springs correctly without them...

sounds like a good place to go if you ask me

Noel some of the bodgy sh1t that we have been sent lately to try and fix would make you cry.

Terry my head guy has tossed RB heads straight in the skip bin people have bought for $3500+ expecting us to bolt it to a bottom end we have done for them. We now strip and rebuild every head as its not worth risking our reputation bolting on someone elses rubbish.
