Just wanted to share this valve shim calculator that i found yesterday. Makes figuring out your new shim thickness a piece of cake.

It seems to provide the ideal shim size. But shims do not come in ideal sizes. However, it is just a calculator and knowing that a loose valve is happier than a tight valve this can be a good tool for any adjusting their valves. Thanks for sharing your find.
