Sr20det Valve shims
- Thread starter trurace
- Start date
every valve shim is different, the guides on the other hand are all the same.
When you do valve shims on an sr20, they have to go exactly where they came from, if you put the wrong one in the clearances will be off and you will either wear the cam, or spit a rocker.
Like wise when you do anything that changes the height of the valve (ie valve job, valve guides or solid lifters) you need to take new measurments and re do all the valve shims.
In other words if you lost some your screwed. You have to remeasure every clearance. Like wise if you didnt put the EXACT ONE back where you took it out of your still screwed you need to remeasure every clearance and re shim them.
