LOL not trying to confuse you I swear
I can check the Tom Wilson book tonight to verify, but I am almost certain T4 gets only 2 shims.
Also if the shims are not the same then every VW engine I have seen has not had the right shims... Which is a lot!
The shims are larger than the crank so do not let that hinder you to thinking they are different.
Maybe the T4 and T1 shims are of a different thickness to begin with and that is the ordering difference?
PS you Sandeep's are taking over the world! When I pulled this thread up a Sandeep I work with walked over to my cube for a few questions
Good Luck,
