Valve Shim Calculator

This calculator is a spreadsheet in Claris Works. It cuts out all the guesswork when you enter the actual valve clearances and (after disassembly) the actual shim thicknesses. Just follow the directions and it will tell you what shim sizes to use to get the proper clearances. Printing a copy for the record is easy.

If you would like a copy of this file (you will need ClarisWorks 3.0 or greater) e-mail me and I will bounce one back to you.
