Thick Valve Spring Shims?

Chad E532 · 01-06-2010, 02:42 PM

I am running 1.500" OD dual springs. The heads were setup for 1.950 installed height with the hardened locators and 0.030" of shim already under the locators. They are AFR 195 Eliminator heads that run 8mm 10 deg retainers and keepers so I am not sure if anyone makes the -0.050" drop retainers. I looked at AFR and they only list the "standard" height versions. I originally bought the heads assembled with their springs, but on this winters refurb I was planning on installing the correct springs from the cam card which run the different height.
Thanks
Chad
