aidanep71 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 i'v been offered a set of these but the lad dont have the shims is there a way i can use my own shims or would i have to get them out of a 5efhe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J25GTi Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 too much hassle without the shims mate, you will have to measure all the clearences and get them from toyota or made up etc! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Indeed which will equate to extra unnecessary costs For what its worth, decline the offer mate, more trouble than its worth unless they were complete.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Or just shim em up lol not rocket science if your good with engines. that said 5efhe cams arnt a massive gain over stock but every lil helps eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) And just to add the shims out of the 5efhe head are unlikly to fit your head without some needing replacing anyway and as they are marginly higher lift after its all measured you will find you just need your shims ground down a tad. think i paid 20quid for 12 shims to be ground. is just a dull boaring job and possably the most un exciting thing you could do on an engine lol. but worth it usualy for the end result.
