what kind of material are the shims made of? regular steel? heat treated steel? coated???

maybe some machine shop could make you some for relatively cheap...

I seem to remember reading something about them being hardened.

I'd be in for a set of shims. How many shim sizes are there?

There are 30 sizes - they range from 2.85 mm to 4.30 mm in .05 increments

most cost about 1.50 each (from me anyway), some are in short supply.

IIRC they are hardened, they do get pretty high shear forces acting on them.

I have very rarely seen them near the extreme sizes (under 3mm or over 4mm). The only way I could imagine you would need extreme sizes would be because a head re builder either failed to grind the stem to the proper length for seat depth during a valve job (you'd end up with very thin shims) or they took alot off the stem (you'd end up with thick ones).

A whole kit including 5 each of 24 sizes 3.05-4.20mm, totaling 120 Shims in a divided box costs about 175 bucks through my supplier.

It's CRP brand (Continental)

well then how many thicknesses of injector shim are there? i've only ever used one and the dealer only spec's one. i could have been using many thicknesses and never known it if i've never specified....

blkboostedtruck · « **Reply #9 on:** November 21, 2007, 02:21:37 pm »

as far as i can tell! but i don't know for sure? there is 20 different sizes.
Tintin sent me a link to a supplyer but i can't read it? try WWW.DIESELSEND.DE maybe one of you guys can translate the site?
let us know what it says? and i'm still trying to find a tool to make these shims because i think thats the best way to go? so if anyone knows where to look? or knows someone that can make a custom tool to do this! let me know?
thanks Duane

I think you may be referring to the heat shield no?
