19 Answers
Helping a friend raise the floor in his garage conversion. Used 4" timbers to fill gap with noggins. Floorboards on top. Fine for a few weeks but floor has become uneven. Can I drill holes and fill void with fill n fix foam or what is best? Don't want to lift all boards again!

Get some 65mm screws. Those that are threaded the whole way up the shank...
Screw the board down tight to the noggin... There will now be a 2mm depression...
Back the screw off a couple of turns to let the board e back up level. The threaded shank should hold the board steady. You may be lucky and it might stand the test of time.
Still thinking......
Pre-drill the board with a 5mm bit (not into the noggin). Try to squirt some carpenters polyurethane into the hole.then put in fattish screw. That type of glue is thixotropic. Ie it will expand as it cures.

I assume the garage floor would be concrete, so you should have gone for a floating floor. Jablite, deck boards/ply and a finish of the owners choosing. (far easier too than what you have done) Eventually there will be a regret if you did just cover the garage floor with er 4'' timbers noggins and floorboards.
You haven't made things very clear but who am I to argue with John Wayne.
