I am 'supposing' on the shim kit being for sale because I know older Volvos use shims for this and they sell such a kit. Most import shops have these shims in stock, so you might just have this job done.

I wish that MB or some aftermarket parts manufacturer did make such a kit, but I haven't seen one. And if anyone here has extra shims they'd like to sell, I'd be interested in hearing from him.
Since I already have the engine out of the car, and have redone just about everything such an engine needs at about 200k, I'd also prefer to do the shimming myself. But thanks anyway for the advice.
