Adding shims does not compensate for worn out valvesprings. It's common to replace valve springs when re...

Re: Sitting with Chris Turner

So sorry to hear this news. I knew Chris long before I knew Porsche in the heady summers boating and drinking at Salterns in Poole years ago.
Rest in Peace Chris and my condolences to friends and family.
