Trying something here.
I put together an Excel spreadsheet years ago to facilitate tappet shimming. XLS files can’t be uploaded to J-L so I’ve renamed it as a .pdf file. You will need to download it and rename the file extension to .xls before it will work.
File format is Excel 97-03 but should also work in later versions.
The spreadsheet is not advanced. Input fields have to be cleared manually (TAB-delete), though it wouldn’t take much to unprotect the sheet (no password required) and record a macro if you’re so inclined. - be sure to protect the sheet after. It will not recognise an erroneous entry so you need to be careful to plug in the numbers as measured.
