    Good evening all.

    Just checked my vale clearances. I am way out of spec on all except #1.

    Intake Pad Exhaust Pad
    1 0.15 0.20
    2 0.10 265 0.10 265
    3 0.09 270* 0.10 270
    4 0.06 280 0.09 265

    * #3 intake may be 290 couldn't quite make it out

    If I'm reading the charts correctly, I need to install the following shims:

    2 260 255
    3 265 (or 285) 260
    4 275 255

    So, I'm going to purchase seven pads (extra one to accomodate unclear numbers on #3 instake.

    Would someone please confirm that I've identified the correct replacement shims? Haven't done this before, and want to get it right the first time!

    Thanks,
    Doug
