Engine Shim Kit
Sho-Nut is usually pretty responsive, but if you can negotiate a discount with your local Ford parts counter guy, you can get them for the same price. The list at my Ford dealer is $3.80 per shim, and I ordered 24 and got a 10 percent discount to bring it to $3.42 per shim. You have to buy each...- corvgreg

tires
I recently put 225/55/ZR16 Kumho Escta Supras on my stock slicers on the red 95, and they fit fine, and the overall diameter is just slightly smaller than the 215/60. They handle great and don't bulge too much. Possibly some other 225/55 may be to wide, since I've heard the Kumho's may be...- corvgreg

Valve ADJ.......
Yep, for sure do the rag thing! Figure about 10 hours to do the job...16 hours if you drop the tool down the oil return passage. Take your time, don't rush through anything. Cover up the intake runners in the heads too. The rear valve cover is a little tough getting out, along with the bottom...- corvgreg

Thanks Scott for your help. I've got my other 2 cars to do the adjustment to, and I'm sure these will go much smoother. Good luck with your road trip...you've got a lot of 60K's ahead. Greg- corvgreg

After several hours and many cuss words, the oil pan finally came off and......the tappet holder was sitting in the bottom of the oil pan! I sure as hell know now to cover up the oil drain passages with rags! Thanks all for your help, Greg ------------------ '95 Red MTX '95 White ATX All...- corvgreg

I'm really bummed about this...is there any way a long flexible magnet tool snaked down could retrieve it without dropping the pan? You learn your lessons after stuff like this happens. I did the timimg belt/water pump/cps last week and everything went fine with that. sdpatt, a question for...- corvgreg

...their tappet holder while doing valve adjustment on the number one exhaust valve? I just started adjusting the exhaust valves and while removing the shim, the tappet holder dropped into the engine compartment and I've looked for an hour and half and I still can't find it! Where the *##%&**...- corvgreg
