Trouble finding parts
I've been purchasing a few parts here and there to get my engine put back together, but I'm having a hard time finding endplay shims. Also been looking for the seal that goes around the oil cooler but no luck. Where do you guys get your hard to find stuff?

Re: Trouble finding parts
For end-play shims, try your friendly-local-ACVW-machine-shop (FLAMS?). The one I work with has stacks and stacks of them.

Re: Trouble finding parts
Thanks for the links. Rimco is the closest machine shop I think. Even they are 3 hours away. Ill figure out what size shims o need and go from there.
