Doing a top end service on my 308 & 246 and found quite a large disparity in prices for valves shims Superformance .......£7.25 + 20% tax + P&P Dino parts......... £7.71 + tax + P&P Eurosport UK........ £2.35 + Tax + P&P Classic autos .......3.92 euros + Tax + P&P All are 33mm shims, the last 2 ones are for the Fiat X1/9 & Fiat dino 2400 which appear to be identical mmmmmm is it the Ferrari tax? Tony
Yes. The Lampredi-designed Fiat/Lancia twin-cam and SOHC engines use the same 33mm shims. No difference. Buying them in 'kits' are even cheaper, just search eBay for 33mm shim kits.
That would complicate matters Alberto and would have to stock more of the damn things!!!, 0.05mm increments work fine in 99.99% of cases. Well they have for me Regards Tony
