second - I want some head shims for it and I'm wondering if any .21 shims will work ? Are all .21's the same size (I get that there are differences in thickness but I mean diameter) ? Will nova shims work on a picco engine ?
third - I pulled the glow plug out of it and noticed that there wasn't a washer between the plug and the motor. Is this right ?
fourth - not one word in the manual about glow plug recommendations. will be using the engine in primarily humid and hot Florida, if that makes any difference. Suggestions ?
thanks in advance

http://www.kamikazetoysandhobbies.com/home.htm for parts, glow plug doesnt have a washers as its a turbo plug. i would use medium cold to cold turbo plug for the conditions, with shim u can measure against the picco shim u have and if they are same u can use them. there should be enough to start with in a new engine.
