Start with stock shims. If engine runs too hot, remove a shim. If runs too cold, add a shim. ************** And then, once you know the answer, you can reply to the next guy who comes along asking the same question. hehehehe..................seriously, it would be interesting if you post the results you get with different shims, glowplugs, fuel, etc. Good luck.

I'll give it a try when replace the button head because i stripped it! btw i was thinking that adding a head shim will run cooler but it's opposite. lol Back to top Author Message Eggbert Joined: 27 Jan 2006 Posts: 331 Location: Nova Scotia, Canada Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2009 4:36 am    Post subject: Oh-oh...I goofed when I wrote that.... I should have written: "Start with stock shims. If engine runs too hot, add a shim. If runs too cold, remove a shim." I do apologize.
