New Head Gasket, Do I Need To Shim? How?

Recommended Posts

christopher

I'm doing a new head gasket for my mums 1.9.

 

I've bedded in the valves by grinding with rough and smooth.

 

Is this going to make the shimming way out?

 

Is there a guide somewhere where it explains how to shim up with new shims?

 

Never tried this.

 

Thanks

worthwhile checking them regardless, wear and tear will alter them as well as you having removed material from the seats and valves

 

the haynes manual covers it well.
