Boxer Valve Clearance Adjustment Shims

SBDaytona · 01-04-2012, 01:10 AM

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows if the Valve Clearance Adjustment Shims for a Boxer (512 BB) are the same as those used in the 308 GTB series? I am about to do an engine out and may as well do the valve clearances while the engine is on the bench. I can get a box of 308 shims very readily but not sure if they are the same for a Boxer. Any advice would be much appreciated. Best wishes Sean

SB- Affirmative. Fiats of the same period use the same shims, as does the Daytona and Dino.
