Valve shims

Hi all

Can any one pleas help me . I need a valve shim for a gs550 katan . I believe they are generic across the whole GS range . I have searched eBay and other places but I can't find a 240 valve shim. Can any one help ?
I have plenty that I can swap with from 245 to 260 .

Many thanks

Bruce

Re: Gs550 katana engine paint/spray

Hi nige

I'm now ready for painting . I had the head and barrels soda blasted and they have come up a treat .
What primer did you use as the VHT needs cureing and I'm not to sure how to do this . Is it a case of putting it in the oven ?
