Hey Chris,

Just a quick thought,

What material are you having the shims made of?
The reason I ask is that I have just pulled the head on my my L28 280c (as it seemed to have a head/gasket leak. I had fitted a ACL 1.5mm shim when I did the turbo conversion 2 or so years ago.
It seems the head shim has acted as a sacrificial anode and coroded quite badly around the water jackets into the cylinders.
I had run quality coolant/inhibitor and the block is well earthed.

Are you using stainless steel?

Anyways,

G O T H E D A T!!
