Rocker shaft pedestal shims

[Jens]

Need 4 x 0.001" and 4 x 0.004" rocker shaft pedestal shims for a 3500 to adjust the lifter pre-load.
Might anyone inquire me where I can buy these shims.

RPI in Norwich are always banging on about lifter preload so I imagine they would sell the shims.

0.001" and 0.004" ?

Preload is not that critical, I don't think you will get shims down to those tolerances. Real Steel do sell shims.

It isn't, and it only becomes a problem if you deviate too far away from standard.
