  • Valve shim swap or sell?

    I have a couple of extra fatties, 290 & 275 and I'm looking for (3) 265's, (1) 260 and (1) 270 willing to buy if you don't want to trade.

    Not sure how people can be so lucky that they can swap and not have to buy shims. Also confounded as to how to find what size is needed since my old KD measuring set only has a couple of shim stocks that get ya close to the .16 & .18. Using a .051 & .102 or .127 gets me close to max tolerance, if it's too tight then I drop the .051 to get a feel for if I need to drop one size shim or 2 sizes.

    Anyways, they get expensive to buy new and they never go bad unless they rust. Anyone willing to trade or sell?
