I started working on the 1979 and the shims are all over the place. There are three at 245, two at 240, one a 265 and three at 270. Is it common to find such variability of wear on valves in the same engine?
As for my avatar? He was a good professional soldier and a Prussian and pioneered the art of tank warfare. Although I loathe anything to do with Nazi's and the SS, many brave and skilled German soldiers fought in the war and perhaps we should acknowledge their sacrifices.81H Venture - hope to ride summer 2013

Yes, they usually are all over the place. When you re install the new ones be sure and put the numbers down.Greg
