910-16 shims

[JosieGallows]

Does anyone know where to buy shims for the 910-16 springs?

What is the size/dimensions of the shims?

Anywhere that sells performance parts. Lol
I believe summit has some good sets. And a nice little tool to set up the right height.

I saw Summit has a lot of shims for sale. Just don't know which ones are specifically for the 910-16s. I need .030 shims.

Where did you get the springs from? Contact that vendor and request shims in 0.030" dimension

Why do you need shims anyway? cause 0.030" isn't going to do much IMHO

Are you doing a reground Cam? I think that's what Russ recommends for his cam and I think I remember him saying he sells the shims too.

Because the 910-16s are shorter than the stock springs. And a .030 shim is needed to get a 910-16 up to stock spring height. I already verified using a feeler gauge.

I am not sure where you are getting this .030 figure from? Should be setting that spring to its suggested installed height to get its rated seat pressure.

The above posting is correct. Set pressure is important as is the height of the spring. Also the height of the valve is doubly important as it comes thru the spring keeper.
