Hi there!

there may be a requirement for a set of shim-type components to be made
for me for a project.

basically i am wondering what type of procedures would be required to
make something that will go in the valve train in a cylinder head...it
basically has to go between the top of the valve stem and the
tappet...probably a small bucket/cap shape, where the shimming
thickness would be around 2mm

i presume it needs to be from hardened steel, but would u turn normal
machining grade steel and then harden it after?

i am hoping this is something that a competant machine shop would be
able to turn out for me quite easily and quickly.

if anyone can suggest a place that could also undertake this work that
would be very helpful.

many thanks in advance
