[Roadsters] SRL cam tower shim question

[Gordon Glasgow]

It does depend on how much the head has been milled, since you are trying to
get the cam back to its original location relative to the crank. Stock head
thickness should be around 4.528-4.530".

DatsunParts.com has them in several thicknesses.

Subject: [Roadsters] SRL cam tower shim question

This may not be answerable but I am curious as I have a 2000 that might need
some head work next spring....

Is there a common size used/needed for the cam tower shims? Or is the
thickness of the shim going to ALWAYS be based on how much has been cut off
the head's thickness?

If I had shims made (I know someone who owns a machine shop), is any one in
need of or interested in acquiring a set(s) if I do get them made?

Also, What is the best material to use for these shims?

Thanks
