WANTED Barrel spacers. HELP !!

Discussion in 'Late Bay Parts Classifieds' started by mrlhayes, Jul 6, 2013.

  1. Carefully measured my deck height ordered from vw heritage and they send me the shims for the wrong engine
    Ordered from cool air and waited 4 weeks and the send me 0.02 not 0.04 that I ordered and was shown on the invoice How hard is this stuff

    Now been looking at my engine for 2 months not making any progress AAAAAAAAARGH !!!!!

    Anybody got barrel spacers (not for the heads) at 0.04 or 0.06 type 4 2 litre engine ????

  3. What is the current deck height without the shims?
     
  4. 0.02 mm? Or 0.2mm or are we talking inches
     
  5. Need 4
    All above in inches
    Current deck height as measured with no shims spacers in

    Cyl 4 0.4 mm
    Cyl 1. 0.65 mm
    Cyl 2 0.65 mm
    Cyl 3. 0.6 mm

    So went for 1 mm shim or 0.04 inch

    To get 1.4 to 1.6 final
     
  6. Bit odd that the deck height is that low... :thinking: New barrels by any chance?

    but you currently have 4 o.2of an inch, half a mm spacers, so you can sort at least on barrel, have you not got any old spacers that you can combine to sort 2 barrels then at least you can start building up that side.
     
  8. No old spacers some came in the gasket set but they are very thin so wnt get me the height I need
    Yes new barells

    I'd hold out for the thicker ones you want. Ring up CA and explain and I'm sure they'll send out new and cover the post.

    Yes, cool-air! why not get them to send you the right size? - they're very helpful if you call them and speak.
