Would motorcycle 29mm valve shims work in a 328?
The 2V 308 shims are 33mm size, also come from Volvo. My question is very specific to 29mm shims, readily available at many motorcycle shops.
To actually answer your question: Yes; 29mm shims are used in a few motorcycle applications No; They won't work in a 328 (for the most part), as the motorcycle shims are much thinner that your typical 328 shim. Doing a "typical" 328 valve adjustment, the shim range will fall between 3.75 and 4.15mm. Most of the motorcycle shims end around 3.00 mm. In that 328 shims are readily available, typically for $4-$8 a shim, why not just go to a Ferrari aftermarket vendor... Regards, David
Thank you, that is the answer I am looking for. It is not the price, it is having to wait 3 days for the right shims to arrive.
