[QUOTE="terry hay, post: 686569, member: 48273"] Wether you create a bleed by drilling a hole or placing a clearance shim on your stack you will still end up with a similar situation. A free flow of oil will result until pressure overcomes the resistance of the shimstack and it begins to bend. The advantage of the clearance shim is that it is very tunable by adjusting diameter and thickness and it will usually only work in one direction(similar to a one way valve). Unless of course your shim is close to the diameter of the piston orifice arrangement. You guys are placing a lot of thought to your various situations and seem to be getting deeper into things than perhaps you need to be. Remember the basics of hydraulics. When pressure is applied to a fluid, it is equal and undiminished in all directions. Midspeed, highspeed, lowspeed, midstroke, initial, endstroke. All areas are constantly subject to the same amount of force. As one valve bends, pressure is equalised in all areas. The same pressure is applied to an orifice as a shimstack. Naturally the oil (or pressure) will take the path of least resistance. The capacity for an orifice to flow oil is finite. As soon as that capacity creates sufficient resistance to equalise the resistance of the shimstack, the shims will bend. Balance is the key. [/QUOTE]
