VINTCO valve shim kit - 29.5SHIMKIT

VINTCO offers this valve shim kit. On a four-stroke engine there must be a small gap between the camshaft and each valve. As parts wear, this gap changes.

Why a shim kit?

The benefits:

• Adjust the valve clearance straight away without waiting for a shim order.
• A wide choice of thicknesses in one place: ideal for the workshop.
• A precise adjustment preserves the valves and makes starting easier.

Why choose VINTCO?

Vintco, the American vintage-bike specialist since the early 1990s, remanufactures engine parts to the original standard, with the OEM part numbers listed.

When should you replace this part?

Valve clearance is checked at the manufacturer's intervals with the engine cold. An exhaust valve whose clearance keeps closing up is often a sign of a worn valve or seat.
