Nearly 2000 litres transferred so far - and those 20L containers don't get any lighter

I've just discovered that as the valves have been re-cut I have issues with the shimming. Basically the valve is sitting deeper in the head. I need to get the valve stems reground or use two cam box gaskets.... this is not ideal as it will alter the valve timing.
You can replace the shims, you need to obtain a Fiat shim tool, beg, buy, borrow or make.

I was lucky and have spare shims of various sizes which made it cheaper for me.

Already bought one of those, brilliant bit of kit!

Just make sure the grinder doesnt kick back and get you in the knee like mine did.... Oh look blood and flesh!

I ended up with getting air into the knee joint, 9 stitches. general anesthetic, nerve block and 2 days in hospital. Misssed my knee cap by 1/2"
But not much pain.
