[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1225066, member: 3828"] Unfortunately, three of each size may not be enough. When I re-shimmed my 1st gen a while back I needed to adjust all eight intakes. I (would have) needed four 1.75 and four 1.725 shims if I were using .025mm increment shims. I would have had to use eight of the 1.75mm shims if I was using the standard 0.05mm increments. I sanded the original shims down to the required sizes using a micrometer instead of waiting to get the correct sized shims. [/QUOTE]
