Guys & Gals,
As you know I am having these shims made( info is in the previous post) I will fill all orders as soon as I get them in. I am going to change this system a little now ... the people on the list are on the list but this list thing is getting old fast ... if you want these shims send the correct funds ( 15.00 ) per set to me with your shipping address and phone # ( print clearly )and I will fill your order as I get them I only accept postal money order or Bank casher's check ( sorry no pay pal ) again these shims are being made from .024 T6 aluminum and laser cut to exacting specs I am starting with a run of 125 pairs

Please remember the 15.00 per set is shipped to your door FOR US RESIDENTS ONLY please calculate your out of country shipping (canada)as this will be ADDITIONAL like I said I am doing this for NO PROFIT ! so tread lightly please . my shipping address is

feel free to call with any questions I have no more shims for sale I am completely SOLD OUT thanks

Check is in the mail for two (2) sets. :banana: :div20: :fluffy:

I'm in for 1 set , check's in the mail

:div20:

Guys ...
Good news... the shop was paid today and production has started I will try a couple 1 offs to insure fit is perfect and then the full run I should be able to start shipping for those that are paid on monday the 11th all is good

check is in the mail, thanks

I dont think they will fit a 500. These are 800/900 shims.

What's the purpose of these shims? Is it just for additional piston to valve clearance or is there a performance reason?

Once again Mike, thanks for the update!

My payment for 2 sets is sitting in the mail box and will go out in the morning. I added a few extra bucks in case shipping is higher than expected...if not keep it as a tip for all of your effort. Again, I sincerely thank you!

Bryan D. Ziemann

Bryan,
Thanks for the kind words ( they are appreciated ) as for the tip that isnt required but appreciated as well
Thanks

Engine preservation! Increases APV-to-Piston clearance.
No performance gains should be expected although in my case the engine ran much smoother after the contact was eliminated. :div20:

I was told that the 500 and the 800 have the same APV? Maybe I'm wrong???? I was also told the 500 motor had problems with the APVs hitting the piston.

Yes same style valve / not sure if the bridges are the same though.
Yes the 500 has a huge problem with em hitting, seems that they eat the pins then smash the pistons.

Mike, I had my wife send out a check today. It is a personal check, so just wait until it clears, i'm not in any hurry.

Thanks again! :beerchug:

Well Ill see if they fit and if not ill decide i to sell them cheap or modify it to make it work. Tell me more about eating the pins???????

Check is in the mail!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

:beerchug:

Check is being sent for one set.

Thanks!

sending check for a set.

check is in the mail for me too. so count another.

they are on the way
Mike

Thanks Mike!

Mine came in the mail today and they look great.

Thanks again for helping us all out. :div20:

Mike, i got them today Tues. the 12th. Thanks! They look great. I plan on giving you a call i have a couple questions on the Sno-tek link and sheave alignment you can probably help me out with. They were in perfect shape in the card ,Thanks again Steve

my buddy told me i dont need these because the cats have a piece of metal at the end of where the valves are that would stop the valves from going too far into the cylinder and that these shims are a waste of money to me.

are they absolutely necessary if i keep my cables adjusted?

And when your cyls and rings wear and start to rock they will catch the tip of the exhaust valve. Just put them in as added insurance!

Not a waist of money at all. I have pistons that will prove that they can and will hit even with cables adjusted properly.

Got mine, thanks again. look great.

i got mine today,they look great! thanks mike. curt lamb :banana: :div20:

Got mine , nice touch with the card , thanks zilla they look great :div20:
