i think ive got .015 or so shims on mine , and with Dove rockers.


isnt that cast--how is that repairable ?





normally .015 or .030 shims won't hurt anything. these heads had considerably more than that.
even though the head is cast aluminum, it is can be welded. the castings are very rough and porous and that doesn't bode well for a good clean high strngth weld. porous cast aluminum can get brittle. fear not, we have the technology.
