Default Does anybody have a Valve Shim Set available?

Time has come for a valve adjustment, does anybody in the North Dallas area have a Valve Shim Set available to borrow, for rent or sale?

you can get the set for $350-$400, most people dont rent them because the shims are $8 a piece, so if 20 valves need adjusting then you are already $160 into buying a new set...also the special tool is very fragile. good luck man

$8 a shim? Shims are $3.50 at the dealerships.

Let me know if you need the shim kit. I will get mine kit back shortly.
