Sorry just not happy about not being able to get shims easily for the setup, seans valve lash was .040mm on the worst one, and stock GTIR solid spec is .014-.017mm, i've got someone that I can have make them no problem, it just would really help to have something different to test with so I can spec them out and just get it right the first time.

The other two options would be to contact mazworkz i belive they have shims just like matt used or similar that may work, but i would talk to them and see what you can get, of course they may try and just sell your there whole kit though lol. Last option is look on freshalloy i belive there was a dude who found out how to make the shims you just gonna have to do some hard searching.

i do but i wanna make sure when i do my final adjustment that i have enough.
can you get a hold of the person you bought the head off of and see if they have the extra shims like they should LOL. Or better see if martin may have them cause he did help put that head together correct?

I just want to borrow a couple to test with so I can see exactly what the ratio is for x amount of shim vs actual valve lash, so that I can get the correct shims made, i've definetly got someone who can make them, I just want to plot out exactly what I need, if you can let us borrow some, you'd get them back exactly as received and quickly.
