On the thread "Donate shims to the new kit" I've posted I have a valve shim tool to donate. Get your shims  together folks, and let's get a new kit circulating fast !

:)

The list won't move till we have some shims to put in it !

Well, I got a number for Eric Wilste, who happens to be our guy's dad.  I asked for a phone number and dad says he doesn't have a number.

Any other updates on the PM or email via others on the forum?

Paulcet, was that postal address for the dad, too?

That address was different.  the number I called was Bedford, I think.

Correction to above post:  Bedford Hills

I also did find a cell phone number for our guy, but it is not in service.

'Dad' seemed a little irritated that some guy from Georgia was calling him at home and accusing him of having a valve cover gasket problem... I didn't realize I was talking to the father and that they have the same name until I mentioned GS500 and he says "oh that's my son Eric Ryan".  So maybe someone else can call dad and ask more politely if he can get a message passed on.  PM me for the number if you want.
