lpr shims

[F5monkey]

how many shims are you using to get to 75 on your lpr.

some history for the question.
i went to adjust my lpr yesterday ( to make the ram stoke a little softer ) took out the shims ( 4 ) put back in 3. i wasn't carefull enough and bent and smashed all 3. i had the spare parts that came with my speed. with the 2 shims from the spare plus the one i had removed, i put 3 back in very carefully this time. i shot some paint every thing was ok, some barrel breaks but no chops. i checked the lpr preasure and it was between 60 and 70. i have a feeling this maybe too low, but is the only choice i have right now. i will add some when i get some, just wondering what you guys had.

thanks

a slightly bent shim isn't really going to cause any issues.

as for pressures....I spoke with Ken about LPR pressures on the 4 and he said you could run it as low as 65 as long as you're not getting any drop off.

thanks emmit

the shims i messed up could look around a corner by themselves

flatten them out....once you put the spring stack and the piston back in they'll be fine...trust me

i wish i could. i tossed them at the field. i will get some more. world cup is 2 weeks away and i only live about an hour north of orlando

I'm not really sure how many I've got in mine. I just added untill I hit 77. Sorry I can be of much help.

[F5monkey]

cool. i thought mine would be set at 82 so i just removed one and checked the preasure later.

Spacers??? You mean the spring stack?

I do some late night posting from time to time.

[mayhams clint]

yeah my problem with late night posting is my brain doesnt exactly recall teh correct term i want to use so i just kinda make something up, and its usually way off.
