B18FT Tappet Shims

Post by doingitsideways » Sun Jun 29, 2014 11:03 pm

Hi all.

My 460 Turbo is sounding very tappety of late.

I don't suppose anyone's got a big bucket of tappet shims knocking about at the bottom of the garage?

Cheers,

Sorry dont have any of those in SOMD but I will soon be swopping over a head onto my daughters 2 ltr 480 so the old head is bound to have shims on it :D if you are really stuck

Cheers Jim.

I'll probably take them off your hands if I've not managed to find anything by then.

From what I've found though, most heads have pretty much the same shims from the factory, but you never know if they've ever been done.
