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.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

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.
