Got the motor in and will start wiring it up tonight.

Does anybody have any rocker arm base shims that fit between the head and rocker shaft assembly ? I'm thinking T1/T4 are the same except I need 8 for the T4 as the T1 only has 4. Rocker geometry is a bit off and I want to do the best I can.

Its a little too late to order some now ... I want to fire this engine up on the weekend

Thanks

Sandeep

I've got a couple sets of T1 rocker shims. Sets of 4. I could make them out of shim stock if you know the thickness you need.

Thanks guys.

Pete,

Can you tell me how thick they are ? I am not sure on the size I need but I'm thinking I could start with any thickness.

I'll need 8, let me know.

Thanks

Sandeep

Looks like I sorted out the rocker arm geometry without any shims. I installed the cooling system and wired up the car last night.

Tonight I have to install the injectors and check the fuel system before starting it up .. hopefully on the weekend.

Hope to be on the road and driving for June 1st

Sandeep
