Im new at all this,so dont mind me asking. What exaxtly are shims. I want to learn as much as possible. I call it a shim but it's technically a valve cap. it helps you adjust the clearance between the rocker and the cam. here's a picture of them (no you don't NEED this many lol I just wanted to have all the different sizes I could get just in case) it's amazing the things you start to collect  ![[Linked Image]](https://celicahobby.com/vip/albums/album24/DSCF1187.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://celicahobby.com/vip/albums/album24/DSCF1182.jpg)

the lack of posting on my part should leave people to automatically assume that as usual there are NO updates. I'm kinda sick of this project at the moment so I'm not posting about it again until its done. so assume nothing is happening unless you see a new thread called cam dynos
