Hello, I'm with a dilemma, maybe you can help me.
I've found a good workshop who made a nice job with the cylinder head of my 2000TC engine.
After the job, I reassembled the camshaft, with the original shims.
Now I find that there is no clearance, as expected because all the valve seats where machined slightly.
I don't know how to start : if I grind the existing shims , I don´t know how far to go.
I was trying to get shims from Kawasaki ( 13mm ) but they are too short ( max 3.2 mm and mine are between 10,37 / 10,48 mm ).
Am I wrong if I ask the workshop to cut a a 13mm rod in different sizes and to try them until I got the right gap ? Then I grind the original
shims to each size ?
I don't know if it´s clear the question.
Thanks
