Understanding Subaru Valve Lash "Shim" Numbering?
I'm trying to set the valve clearance on a 2013 FA20 engine,.........does anyone have a listing that gives actual shim thickness (preferably in imperial), that can be associated with the numbering system that Subaru is using to ID their shims? This has got to be the most confusing deal I've run into in a LONG time! The numbers that are etched onto the shims don't seem to relate to an actual thickness, but in the part # specs for a "1.94" shim indicate that is "T",.....which I would assume "T" would be the thickness of the shim. I measured the shim an the thickness measures aprox. .0024"! 1.94mm equals .076",.............I'm TOTALLY not understanding what the number that is etched on the shim means?
On a second note, it seems to me that I saw someware that there are OEM rockers available that have added/reduced clearance, to help get you back in the "range" of available shims, after having cylinder heads remachined. Does anyone have info on these rockers?
