Head rebuld - cam alignment

<< < (5/5)

Benz Dr.:
Don't bother messing around with making cam shims. There are several different thicknesses to choose from and they're not expensive.

If you have a flat parting surface but your thickness measurements are all over the place, you should probably have the top of your head milled. Make all of these determinations BEFORE you do any other head work. Everything from the top of the head needs to be removed including valve guides, studs, dowel pins, and the threaded cover caps. If you already installed new valve guides you will need to remove them and may even need to replace them if they get damaged. Don't be that guy.

Looking great! It is always nice when you can see the finish line in sight.
