Shims???

[habsdoc]

Hi, I just picked up 5 - 3.0 and 5 - 2.95 shims for $12.00 total. I work in a machine shop and plan on using a surface grinder to make some into smaller thickness shims. I will be using a magnetic table to hold the shims while grinding them. Should I take the same amounts off each side or just all off one side??? Are they hardened all the way through or are they just case hardened$$$ Will the magnetic table cause them to be magnetic??? Being magnetic would not be good. Thanks Randy

I would take the material off one side only. If you plan on putting them on a magnetic table, de-gauss them when you are finished.

Contact Ray (username Ghostgs1), who runs the GSR Shim Club. He has done pretty much the same thing and might be able to give you some details.

Where can I get Valve adjusting shims???

What do you mean by valve adjusting shims? If you mean the shims you use for your valves, contact GhostGS1 like Steve mentioned above - you'll find his shim club information in the GS Services section

Go to his thread (http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=122394), click once on his name, choose the "Send a Private Message to GhostGS1" option, and tell him what you'll need. You'll want to read through that thread as well to understand how the club works.
