May 22, 200421 yr how can i have a set of tapers installed in my parallel heads ? can sand fill the voids correctly? thanks tony No way a sand can fill it up and get a good strenght out of it. I ussually use a .008" aluminium shim that i got from a hardware store. Cut them and wrap it around, They are the exact gap thickness. Make sure you got them all glue on every sides. Parralel tip shaft are not the same w/ taper tip shaft. It's gonna take a lot for me to explain them why and how. Good luck ! Joe:)
