Frankieflowers Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 @Ryan-11 hello This thread goes way back but the problems to solve are the same. It’s so nice to see many people still loving these cars. I am in the process of solving a valve clearance after forging the head. Rectification has been done and they didn’t do valve clearance for me so I will have to figure it out. The only problem is that I don’t have the shims kit. How do you guys fix the gap when the shims are too thin? In my keys 1/10 mm has been rectified in that valve cup so apparently all shims should be thinner to close the gap. This is essentially theory because I still didn’t check for clearance getting the head cover off. The symptoms are lack of power in mid range and blowing noise that I thought was coming from the turbo. The other symptom is that the engine bangs when changing gear in acceleration. Let me know what you think. Other friends on the forum are already aware of the problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
