Valve clerance's/shims

[loz180691]

Well I have quite a tappy top end and its just getting annoying now so im going to bite the bullet and sort it out just need to find out more on how to re-shim the head also going to take the chance to put a fresh cambelt kit on as we'll.

I know I have to measure the gaps between first to find out what I need. what are the measurements I'm after? And once the cams are out do the new shims just come out and then replace them with the right sized ones.

Also I'm told about this thing on the cams that needs to be tensioned properly can any one shed some light on this please

Any guides would be fantastic on this or if anyone has time to message back and help that would also be great thanks

Twenty pounds for a haynes manual will make your life so easy. Get the 93-97 corolla one which covers the 4efe engine.
