FAQ

Good to know.

How do I install them?

Installation is straightforward once the cylinder head is off. Watch the install video, and we're happy to answer questions by email.

Do you make other sizes?

0.031″ is our stocked size. Other sizes are available in bulk. Email us to ask.

There's soot on my shims

That's residue from the laser table. It's harmless and wipes off.

What shims can and can't promise.

Nobody has reported a cracked liner with our shims installed. That is a track record, not a guarantee.

Liners can crack for several reasons, and we don't know the horsepower limit of these shims. SwedeSource is not liable for repair costs or engine replacement if a liner cracks with shims installed, and we aren't responsible for harm caused by incorrect installation. This is a formula we've used with great success, and we hope to keep that record.
