So what *caused* this disagreement? A whine?
Did you ever see that episode of Monty Python when a fellow approached a kiosk with a sign above it that said, "Arguments." He stepped up and told the attendant, "I've come for an argument." The attendant looked up and replied, "No you haven't..."

Five minute argument or the full half hour?
That's why they make "go-no go" feeler guages. As for hypoid gear sets you can go on longer than "which motor oil" thread!
That's one I never understood. I mean -- for OHC with puck adjusters I can see how having the shim set incremented every thousandth would be cost prohibitive, And you'd never make flat-rate. But we know how much difference a couple thou makes in the performance of our pushrod engines. So how can you have a "precision racing machine" where it's impossible to dial in the lash?
local mob make shims in .01mm increments, that�s about 4 tenths of a thou. Bet you can buy similar in US. Factory .05mm increments are not the only way. Others grind shimsYes racebikes are dialed in
I still have a massive array of shims and shim pullers for a lot of the early OHC cars. The only ones we could get paid to grind to perfection (not an easy task with those hardened pucks) were custom jobs where the customer cared. The only place I worked that I did that was an outfit that combined a full service machine shop with rally car prep. The owner named his kid Camshaft Axlerod. For regular maintenance jobs anywhere I worked it was go/no with massive tolerances. Even those we had a hard time meeting flat-rate if a lot needed to be swapped.

Sorry RK I misunderstoodI think you meant time consumingImpossible means you die tryingSemantics or mere pedantry?PAXMH
