Popular Post forddieseldoctor Posted February 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2018 I had some issues properly calculating valve lash adjustment on a 2011 Transit Connect today. It irritated me bad enough that I created a spreadsheet in Excel to make it easier. And since I believe in helping others by posting as much as I can here I decided that I would post it and anyone can share it and use it as much as they like. This is only going to work with the cup style cam followers such as the Transit Connect. Valve Shim Calculator.xlsx I also took some screen shots of where to enter what info. All measurements are in millimeters. Step One. Record the current shims in the yellow boxes. Step 2. Measure and record the current valve lash in millimeters in the green boxes. Step 3. Put the minimum and maximum lash specs in millimeters in the correct orange box. Step 4. Use the minimum and maximum calculations to find the correct shim from the parts catalog.
