What is the purpose of a valve spring shim?

Valve spring shims are used to adjust the installed height of the valve springs. This adjustment is crucial for ensuring the valve train geometry is correct and the springs are operating within their intended range.

What material are these shims made from?

These Manley valve spring shims are constructed from steel, providing the necessary strength and durability to withstand engine conditions.

How do I know if I need a .015" shim?

The need for a specific shim thickness depends on your engine build and the measurements you take during assembly. You'll typically measure the installed height of your valve springs and compare it to the manufacturer's specifications or your desired height.
