Feeler gauges for valve adjustment?

1x 3.25mm
3x 3.30mm

The shims I've got are all in the 2.9 - 3.05mm range, with most being 2.95 and 3.00mm. Dunno what you 9R guys are running for valve clearances, but let me know if any of ours match up. Otherwise, I'm gonna try and swap them sometim this week.
You may want to double check your math. If your current shims are mostly 2.95 and 3.00, the shims you need will all be under 2.95. You need to subtract (go to a thinner shim) to get more clearance if the current ones are too tight. (unless I misunderstood your post...which could be the case !)

It sounds like you may have some shims I can use. I need:
10 x 2.95mm
2 x 2.90mm
I assume your shims are 7.5mm in diameter ??

If you end up with extra 2.90s or 2.95s let me know. I might as well buy them from you if you don't need them. If I can get most of what I need from you, the shops may be more willing to swap if I only need a couple.

BTW...I have 3.00mm and 3.05mm if anyone needs them.
