I don’t believe that vertically shimming the head at either end will do anything; because you can reverse the rotation and get the travel to reverse direction. If you were to shim it (vertically) enough to stop it traveling in the forwards direction, it would travel HARD in the opposite direction.

Completely forgot to update this thread, as Turbodave suggest the head is "rotated" in block face, can't remember for sure but at the time, because the head was so tight at the studs I spend a long afternoon removing some studs, one at each time, and rotating the head clock and then anticlockwise bolt everything down, cams, pulleys, timing, etc, lots and lots of turns in the engine, pretty sure that my rings are all seated after now, until the belt as no movement.

I had a similar issue when timing and tensioning mine. After checking everything for true and squareness it turned out solely to be an overly tight belt.

not such long time ago I replaced the timing belt of my Alfa diesel. That one is with a spring that indicates when you have the right tension. At that moment the longest distance between two rolls / sprockets is checked by torsion. Just could turn it gently a quarter turn. Thats what I also did yesterday on my K head build. Feels fine to me |
