Hello everyone, i broke a rocker arm on cylinder #2 exhaust side. with that being said. both shims popped out. I found one. Non guided shim. Im having a difficult time finding the other one.
Any suggestions where i should look before i pull the oil pan?


Thanks

Its either in the head or found its way into the oil pan....id be more concerned with that valve through.......

90% of the time they fall down into the oil pan. Just check and double check every nook and cranny inside the head again before you run it. The shims are good at hiding in there.

Also it sounds like im going to look a little harder and then drop the pan i guess

S14rebuild

Yes being bent just a precaution....

I've done multiple dual guide mods using my old bench grinder. The popular "dual guide mod" video I made years ago is on youtube and I still use that same grinder.
