You probably need the cam tower shims. If you don't know the head thickness then its a guess. .030 really tightened mine up and it ran great.

The idea is to not let the tensioner foot come so far out of the bore that it jams. http://www.gor; /html/datsun-roadsters/2001-07/msg01019.html (9,048 bytes)

I think that I have four on mine now and want to add a little bit more shimming. Maybe I should jsut ask how many washers is too much??

I haven't used more than 4 washers, but that doesn't mean that I think 4 is the limit. But 4 is getting pretty dodgy. Using washers is definitely a bandaid.

Plus it would require tearing down the engine to measure it, so it has no more value than measuring the head thickness.
