Roller Cam Thrust Shims

[TTipe]

Where can I get either a 0.005 or 0.015 cam button shim? Either will allow me to get my cam thrust clearance to 0.005". Thanks for the help.

Not sure how far you've gotten but if you're using a felpro gasket, torque the cover and let it sit overnight.... you might find .004" or .005" tomorrow.

If you've all ready got the gasket to take a set, obviously the above advice won't help!

The Felpro squeezes dow to about 0.041. I'm at 0.009 now.

IMO your better off leaving it. Better a little loose than a little tight.

Thanks for the offer. One of the moderators put some shims in my hand.

Leave it at .009". Is your comment ( Leave it at .009) based on oil viscosity, gasket squish and observations or all prior? I see ranges from the "big boys" of 0.002 to 0.010 and 0.003 to 0.011. If oil can get on the cover or front of the button it probably consumes 0.001 to 0.002 of the clearance. I'm just looking to get oil to the running surface of the button with minimal axial motion from the cam.
