Got round to lifting the cams today - 9 shims required ffs.
1/10 reusable and I lost one on the shed floor but at least it's not the reusable one.

Yeah Cliff - shims need periodic inspection & adjustment as they will close up with use - I've not heard of the 'never need to touch em again' malarky.
I like to make progress when riding, but I don't these days.
All sorted for shims Ian - no need to raid TPL etc. store.
Yep Chris - that tune was in my head.

Shim job completed this morning after 1 shim decided to use my latex glove as a launch pad and bury itself outa sight = 40mins poking about with a magnet on a stick. Recovered the shim and a cam-cap locating dowel from under the exhaust cam. Cam cover et al tomorrow as luverly n zunny here so I'm orf to make the best of them both.
