[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1170899, member: 27852"] Thanks for the tip, Bhendron - I picked up a packet of this lubricant on the way home yesterday. Unfortunately, that was almost 8:00 pm so I didn't have any energy to get into the shop. However, I did look over some videos for more information. Check out this valve shim replacement method - ingenious!!! [MEDIA=youtube]V3gxT57eoDE[/MEDIA] Not planning to abandon the tried and true method, but I'm always envious of people that can think out of the box. Also, MikeP1300 says that if I have to change one shim, I need to do a T/B sync. I think I understand the science behind this (change in flow, change in vacuum, T/B needs to be adjusted to compensate), but I don't have a manometer. I suppose I could buy one, but ever since my carb days, I've always believed that if this ain't broke it should be messed with. What do you say? [/QUOTE]
