1.6 TD lifter shims needed
« on: December 23, 2021, 04:47:52 pm »
The PO didn't remove the cam lock tool and broke the tail end of the cam.
I just received a new/used cam and need a couple lifter shims to get it all in spec.  Who/where do I go?

Thanks!

3.65
Found on ebay.
I got tired of calculating so made a little spreadsheet that figures out the min/max shim thickness.
Will gladly share if someone wants it.

If you need shims in that range, I have a small mountain of them. I may have already thrown a bunch of those away.

Autohaus sells most of them from 2.85 to 3.90 for $2 each.

Thanks, I made a spreadsheet calculator to work out min and max shims. The two 3.65 were all I needed along with shifting two more around.
Heads back together and on.
