head shim
Does anyone know how many head shims should be on the FORCE .26 from the factory? I only see 1 under mine, and I think it should have at least 2 if Im not mistaken. thanks

RE: head shim
Ok, Im gonna check it again tomorow. Now if I only have one shim, how would the engine perform? Because I have noticed the temps are a little bit high. thanks for the reply

RE: head shim
The less shims you have the more compression you will have. Usually when i have a feeling that the engine is about to die and i feel a loss in compression i take out a shim to keep the engine running longer.
