Not OEM...
Was the Shim/ "horse shoe" placed in the Sleeve for the 3-4 Throttle-Valve?

Re: Horse shoe shim
Negative, it came out the way it's on the pic. Got this answer elsewhere:
It's not a shim. It's a retainer to hold the valve in the bushing during assembly.
So somebody did a lousy job leaving it in there and in the wrong spot.
