    16 Valve 750 Valve Shim Diameter

    Title kinda says it all. I am trying to find the correct shim diameter for the 16 valve 750 (1981 750L). Thanks.

          Your "shims" are parts 11 and 12.

            The 16 valve engines do not have shims, they are a screw adjusting rocker arm.

                  Lol wow I feel like a bonehead. Thanks all. I guess I'd be wise to take off the valve cover then ask questions next time.

                    You guys... bet you'd take a guy snipe hunting and just leave him in the woods.

                      Don't be silly, Allie, you are more likely to find a snipe at the beach than in the woods.

                        I don't think the idea in most snipe hunting scenarios is for the 'subject' to actually sight any game.

                          Only for a couple days.

                          Back when I ran with friends from the JJC, we used to take the new kid out snipe hunting, and then snipe at him with BB guns until he found one of us. The guy who'd just moved back from Israel was really good at it, Mike and Jakob ended up duct taped to trees and their rifles used to snipe the snipers. Snipe hunts were awesome beck int he day.
