its not a shim problem, i had the head off turnin it by hand and it would get stuck. i had a hard time keepin the sleeve down so i put the head back on without a plug and its the same but it just keeps the sleeve down. im a big guy and im strong and i couldnt turn the piston over while it was heated and the plug was out
