[QUOTE="raveboy, post: 281453, member: 14809"] Hey all, Whilst cleaning up my 1600 SP cylinder heads today I extracted the 1mm steel shims and threw them away (Stupid). I went on line to order some more and discovered there seems to be a world shortage so i looked into going down the copper shim route. The 1.25mm set were cheaper then the 1mm set so my question is, will it make that much difference to the running and efficiency of the engine if I use these. I understand the compression ratio will drop slightly. Cheers for your thoughts on this peeps. Rave :party0046: [/QUOTE]
