Exellent ! Thanks mate , I was wondering about the pressure to the cam ladder ? . I think that screw driver method would be an accident waiting to happen in mine and my heavy fisted mates hands . I am assuming the plastic sheeting in Fred's picture is to prevent the loss of wayward shims ?

Also , do you thread lock the cam ladder bolts on completion ?

Those pictures came from the .com site. They were posted by a Polish fellow who go's by the handle "Zylo". The shim tool is his design. I just made one from his pictures. When I got it sized correctly to work I made the crude drawing with the dimensions. I would also guess the plastic was for wayword shims.

These are pics of the one like I made.

The bottom drawing is a little strengthening piece that the inventor didn't have on his. Mine wanted to bow up under load without the steel brace. You might wonder why not just make the whole thing out of heavier metal, but the "fingers" that hold the bucket down have to be able to flex a little. CAUTION ! Never rotate the engine with a shim out ! It will knock a chunk out of the bucket.

Here is the actual one I made and used successfully.

Sorry about the blur, my old flip phone piece of $hit camera.

Ouch that bucket break was a hard lesson learned .
