Is it unusual to find a valve gap on both the intake and exuast(front bank) to all be .127mm?

Do I need to replace my shims to thinner ones to bring the car into spec?

Wouldn't the Space between the Cam and the shim increase? This is really strange :(

Umm, it is VERY unusual to find them all at .127. You want .200 +/- .005 for intake, .300 +/- .005 for exhaust You will need thinner shims on every single one of those.

Thanks SHO91mTX.

I thought I was doing something wrong or I was smoking crack! The engine is cold.

It's really odd. Unless the last 60K was done on a warm engine.

This has been the 60K from **** frown
