Title: Valve shims wanted Post by: Neil Lewis on 19 November, 2008, 11:10:19 PM I ask this for the simple reason that 33mm tappet shims for the 2 litre Fiat engine (as fitted to the 8-valve integrale) are getting hard to find and I need five to complete my cylinder head rebuild.
I have nearly 30 shims which are of no use to me and I'm sure there are people out there who have the same situation. So these are the sizes I have :- 335x2, 365, 370, 388, 395, 419, 420, 422, 425, 431, 435x4, 437, 440x2, 445x2, 450, 455x4, 470x4 and these are the sizes I want :- 385, 400, 405x2, 410 (5 in all) Any takers? Sometime in the next two weeks would be great... Neil PS I guess a similar situation exists for the 31mm 16-valve shims although those seem to be easier to get since they fit VWs too!

These are readily available from Fiat, however cost about 10 euro each. we are a Fiat Dealer and generally swap shims from our stocks with what ever sizes are needed. When we run out, we just order a few spares.

Title: Re: Valve shims wanted Post by: Neil Lewis on 30 November, 2008, 11:16:21 PM Thanks for the offer Kevin. However, I managed to get some second hand ones from John Brain at Bob Brain Developments ()a bit closer to Oxford) so thanks very much to him too.
