Message	The most time consuming was measuring to determine what proper size shim to order. I cut up pieces of feeler guage to place under the measuring shim that you order with the Tomei lifters. The measuring shim is 2.3(mm) which very small. Because it is very small, the lash was huge. I would have to use very thick feeler guage. I hand lapped all my valves. The shim sizes I ordered ranged from 2.46(mm) to 2.92(mm). "Yes, I know more then JWT. Someone has to be the top dog, and it just so happens it's me." Nixit
