head saver shims

[elvimto]

Has anybody used these shims and if you have what results did you get and what type of sealer did you use ?

Just curious if I should buy a couple in the event that I need to take a cut on the heads. If they work it might be worth it. What do you think?

Hi stuart, check out UK Ebay item number 250755292536 - they will ship worldwide, but it may well be available in the US.

when rebuilding the top end of mine i bought two of these tubes - i only used half of one.

Theres loads on ebay,one of these suppliers must be able to send you a tube over to the states.

Regarding what it's like,it's like syrup,sticky is an understatement but it sure does the job.
