    Wow... little difficult to read, probably why no one responded..? If you still need help I would suggest you try to organize your thought and make it more clear. Also, let us know if you are using metric or standard...

    Might try a list like:

They don't wail like a screeching ninja, the don't rumble like a harley. They just growl like a spactic, stressed out badger waiting to rip your face off and eat your soul." Trainzz~RIP~

      Do a search on the site. I think there is a shim calculator (or a link toone) that will help you out.

      Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.
