[Vwdiesel] valve adjustment

[David Cook]

This guy sells a whole kit with an assortment of valve
adjusting shims.

<http://www.vwdieselparts.com/>

I bought that and it has proved convenient when
adjusting valves.  I didn't have to take everything
apart, measure the clearances, determining what shims
I needed, then putting things together, ordering them,
taking it all apart when the new shims come in and
starting all over.
