During the summer 2 members were good enough to send me the tappet shims I needed to get the rebuilt engine back to the correct clearance. Toby fitted these back in Oct and doesn't it run so much better now? 8)

That does mean that I have a selection of shims to go on to the next owner in need

So, give me a shout.
