Hey guys need some brainstorming.
While assembling back the valvetrain, we came to realise we have zero valve clearance. This is because we didnt take into considereation of the shims when cutting the valve seats.
Now the problem is how can we solve the problem other than the proper way of shiming it.
Is there a way we can grind the shims and "rocker arm guide" shims? Or is there other ways u guys have considered such as grinding of the valve stem? I'm sure some of u have managed to grind something in the valvetrain to correct the clearance problem. So any suggestions? Cant seem to find ideas in the search section.
I know this might sound like the short cut way but i'm staying in the middle of no where in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and one of the very few running GTi-Rs around and i need the car fast.
Other than that as a worst case scenario who would be the best people to order shims from? I heard there is some company call DP motorsports or something like that where u can order it. Any contacts to it and rough price figures?
If hope i can get away to sourcing shims and hope someone can help out to sort the 0 clearance problem.
Btw would adding a higher lift/ profile cams might solve or aggrevate the problem?
Thanks in advance
