Valve shim exchange?
I am currently in the middle of doing a valve adjustment. I have three 2.65x, two 2.65, and one shim that measures 2.69mm. I was wondering if anyone would like to swap the ones I have for smaller shims. I assume I can reuse the 2.65 in place of the 2.65x. Thanks.Tags: None

The shim swapping club apparently works, but if want to build up a collection for yourself, Z1 is the best place to buy shims for about $5.28 each.

I don't know why, but it looks like my private message reply to GhostGS1 did not go through. I have 4 shims I can send in for the shim club. I'm looking for 2.60 and 2.60x sizes. Thanks.

Don't know what's going on with Ghost, but after waiting for a week, you might want to just contact Z1.
Not sure you can order the "X" sizes, though.
