Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
Cool. High carbon steel it is (1095ish, if my memory serves me right). I'm guessing they may need to be heat treated after machining due to the heat imparted by the machining. We're basically talking about tool steel/knife blade material here.

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
I just found THIS source of shims also Tom. They are overseas though but priced good in my opinion. Shipping should be cheap...

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
Tom,
I totally agree with you about the cross over pipe and its causing the left bank to not get enough cooling as we understand it that bank boils even when the radiator is running cool. The guy with the buggy still hasn't been able to keep it cool so we are going to cut the cross pipe today and raise the height. Happy to post photos when and give feed back to the degree of success or failure. Tony

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
after numerous emails and phone calls, I cannot find the proper size shims anywhere...
I had the thought of trimming down the valve stems to create a larger gap to use thicker shims. I would rather not do that in all honesty. SO.... I have ordered some Yamaha motorcycle shims. 25mm in diamter and 2.30mm in thickness. I will send these out to be cut down to the individual thicknesses they need to be.... Anyone else doing this... Highly suggest trying to take 1mm out of the base circle Tom

Re: 11:1 CR Race/Street Engine build
He mentioned earlier he used Crower valves, I guess they are stock length.
EFILogics are 0.5mm shorter...

 you do what ever you have to.A lot of engines are done like that. On Desmodromic Ducatis the shim top and bottom of the valve are usually rubbed down to size on an oil stone to suit. The only difference whether you do the shim or the valve, is the cost. We know which is cheaper. Harvey.
