The heads are at my parents place so i cant measure and need to pick up some shims to shim up my valve springs.. does anyone know the Inner Diameter of the shims needed? I know the OD is 1.5 .

Thanks
 
the shims can be found at any rebuilder or rebuilder supply. i dont remember the size. if you really need to know i can call the racing machine shop that i worked for 3 years. just trying to help. the inch and a half od is the measurement you need. the id doesnt matter that much. shims are somewhat generic but have to fit the valve pocket and then are sized to thickness- .010 .015 .030 etc.
