    ftvb help

    does anybody know if these shim pieces and C-clips are suppose to be in the valve body or do i remove them? One of the metal shim looking pieces already fell out when i was inspecting it.

    theres the shim that fell out. photo above.

    and here you see the other two metal shims and the clips are barely visible in the top wells.



    thanks for the help in advance guys, hope all is well and hopefully i can get this installed sat.

    The shims and C clips should be in there but none of them should be falling out. Did you buy it used or new? What kind of valve body?

    As I told you on the phone yesterday, if you don't feel comfortable putting the shims back in place, (never seen them come out before) I'll be more than happy to send another, at no charge.

    The extremely hard hitting one not the one he normally sells. Been so long forgotif it's the 2cr maybe?
    Have my stock VB that's been sitting in a box for years and I could just send it in if he could do the internals.

    Tazz,

    I think I can get you a 2CR, no problem. As for modifying yours, since he still doesn't charge anything for the core, it wouldn't change the price. He does, however request that you return your core to him, (or me).

    Mike
