They have to be in the same order

[SiCaln]

oh dear, is there anyway i can work it out?

[ChineseMafia]

come on guys help us out here

[Jozinobi]

Si, now you will understand when I asked about labeling the shims!!!

Joz

[riko666]

....you're both screwed then!

[ChineseMafia]

ok guys com on what can we do about this

cause this is big im down to my last engin and ive had enough problem already

hey rick any input on this ?

[riko666]

all you'd have to do is fiddle with all the shims, measuring the clearance of all...which is very time consuming

[StarletRick]

all the stock buckets are the same. unles youve had cam work done

[ChineseMafia]

yessssssssssssssssssssss men youve made me feeel so much beter rick

thanks bud

PS clear you inbox so i can PM you Ive been trying for days

[SiCaln]

but the intake and exhauat are different yea? ie all exhaust are the same and all intake are the same?

[Jozinobi]

If randomly putting them back is not the case, only means would be to go to a place that does new shims and get them to reshim everything?

After all are the shims not there on purpose for proper valve clearances etc?

Afaik new shims from Toyota amounts to some £££... bah

But I think Rick means that he put them back in any order on his build and everything seems to be Ok.

Hmmmm...

[StarletRick]

you should ideally put them back in the same order. but the shim heights are te same. so it wont matter.

its like valves, they should go back in the same order. but it isnt absolutely nessessary

[SiCaln]

wish udv told me mister lol ah well

[ChineseMafia]

so will randomly putting them back affect perfomance ?

[STEVIE]

so will randomly putting them back affect perfomance ?

No it wont affect the performance but u might end up with an engine that sounds like a tractor .As long as you measure the valve clearance on each one you should be ok . If you make your valve clearances to small your going to bugger up your valves . The clearance sizes are underneath your bonnet on a yellow sticker . i notticed that the other day when i was steam cleaning my engine bay lol

[SiCaln]

oh really? whereabouts? gotta pic?

[STEVIE]

oh really? whereabouts? gotta pic?

I will post one but here are the clearances 0.20mm and 0.36mm .Its all in jap but am sure the 0.36mm are for the exhaust . To be honest you shouldnt really have to reshim them my engine has done 100000 miles and all mine are ok . The sticker is located on the underside of the bonnet and i made a mistake its a grey sticker not a yellow one

[StarletRick]

both the exhaust and the intake are the same.

the part numbers are the same for both buckets.

[STEVIE]

both the exhaust and the intake are the same.

the part numbers are the same for both buckets.

Hmmm i wonder what the 0.36mm is for then i wish i could read jap haha

[DevonGT]

Anyone know how much shims are? (sorry for spamming)

[chall]

are the valve clearances not hydraulic?? hence why it has buckets under the cam lobe. there is no adjustment there unlike an engine with rockers!?! and if the part number is the same then...........
