When the Indian Company Tata bought jaguar, they discontinued the manufacture of their valve shims from a Knoxville company named OOZX. One of the company employees, gave British Cars Limited over 6000 of these V8 valve shims along with a few for the new V6's. All of them are brand new, in various sizes, some more than others. Kenny, not needing all these valve shims, asked me to see if I could get them sold. I have found a couple sites that sell them for about $4 a piece and that is exactly what Jaguar charges for them. To be exact, when I called Harper Jaguar in Knoxville, they wanted about $4.50 a piece. I do not wish to get into selling a few at a time, I wish to find someone that would be interested in a 100 to a 1000 at a batch. That does not mean I wouldn't send an alotted amount to someone who needed a set for an engine. I do not know much about these things, but I have taken a few pics. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at gpniceville@yahoo.com . I am definitely not asking that kind of money for them, but the more that are bought, the cheaper they get.

yes I need a set. All my valves are .003 to .002 too loose. I only removed one cam and the shims are .096/.095 in. I need to increace them to .099/.098 on this cam. I would have to take the rest of the cams off to know what I need but if I can get say 30 + shims cheep I will grind them to fit.
