    Question after shim change.

    I have an 81 450t that I successfully completed a valve clearance/shim replacement job on today. Successful of course to the wealth of information I have found here.
    Intake: Cyl 1 was .04 and Cyl 2 .05
    Exhaust was very different.
    Cyl 1 was <.03 with a 2.60 shim. I threw in a 2.55 which gave me .03. Next weekend i will grab a 2.50x and open it up a bit more.
    Cylinder 2 was >.07 but <.10 with a 2.60x. 2.65 got it to .07.
    Now my question is both intake lobes would have a constant coating of oil through rotation while both exhaust with just a smidge taken off the lobe on 1.
    both exhaust, however would be wiped almost completely clean.
    Any feedback is appreciated.

    Don't worry there is lots of oil there when the motor is running It just drains back to the crankcase faster on the exhaust side

      How are you getting your "X" shims? Last I knew, you could not order them.

      Sometimes you can be lucky enough to have a friendly dealer nearby, so I was just wondering how you are getting them.

          Thanks, I didn't notice any excess wear. Just wanted to make sure.
