Mark, if you're coming down for Troy's Manshed days next month, I'll take all the necessary tools, shims etc to do your valves. I have quite a few shims in the 2.70 - 2.90 range. You may need some thinner ones so if you could borrow as many as you can, we should be good to go.
                                                                                                                                                                                Regards, Pete.  :drinks:
PS.  This also applies to anyone else that may want to check their valve clearances.

I hope you are serving brekkie to the blokes, the engine needs to be stone cold for a proper valve adjustment. A roll in freezer might do the trick for same day work. I suppose you could roll in early and aim some hard blowing electric fans at the big lump to get the temp down to ambient.

Unfortunately no I won't be at Troy's men's shed day. I would need to take time off work to attend an my contract won't allow that at the moment.  Will be the same for the FJ rally next year if I get the next contract I applied for.  However I should be getting 5 weeks off from 4th Dec.  So might be able to make a special trip.
