I agree, my comment isn't about the speed, it's about the level of quality one would expect from a vehicle that carries such a title.

You can make a precise shim with gasket material and a cricut cutter if you know anybody that's into scrapbooking that has one.
The 2mm (roughly) is the space between the UTC and LTC. The LTC is dowled. The UTC is bolted into the head only with quite a margin at the bolt holes because there are no vertical fasteners in the UTC. This is why the UTCs always have to be set with the profile tool or the double washer method using the VCs. I want to think this is somehow an electric/electronic issue since I've approached it from every angle mechanically but at this point I have no conviction in my views, I've never been so stumped by a vehicle before and I've done a lot of things to a lot of different cars.
