Hello, Out there

I'm looking for Thunder Tiger Pro .40 cylinder head shims or gasket in .008 and .010. Does anyone know of a person or shop that provides this shims in the thicness mentioned.

os head gaskets will work..call around to hobby shops to see who has them in stock, or just order from tower...you will not find 8 or 10 thou, more like 4-5 thou

check with www.pspec.com and see if Dave Shadel has any left - he's retiring, selling off what he has left, but I just picked up some head shims from him a while back.

What is the best glow plug to use?

I like OS#8

Kevin - I was using the K&B 1L that I bought from Mecoa, but I'm out. Merlin makes one that's about the same heat range, I think it's their 2003 but their website would have more info.

Some of the guys have been using Fireball plugs because they're inexpensive. I'll catch up with a buddy of mine that uses them this weekend and find out which one.

I just bought a handful of the O'Donnell red (hot) plugs and the purple (medium) plugs to experiment with. I prefer a full-length "long" plug over the medium length plugs.

Another one that has been used with some success is the glo-bee style from Merlin. I think they're a cold plug, don't idle worth a darn, but who needs an idle, eh?

use the globee style, TH, NZ
