[Vwdiesel] valve shims

[Scott Sullivan]

Dennis,

It is quite easy to figure out what shims you will need, just use the method you described below. Often you will be moving some shims around and need to buy few new ones.  My local import parts place sold the shims for $3.00 each.  They have since changed hands and do not cary them any more.
