Valve Clearance Adjustments - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So i finally got my head back and got its all torqued down. Went to check my valve clearances and pretty much all of them are to tight. I know you must shim them to get the correct clearance. just wondering if anyone knows where i might be able to find a shim kit? thanks

Toyota sells the shims Once you know the sizes you need to get back in spec (measure min and max for each valve), take that list to them and select from the list they have of available sizes. Time consuming, but I remember the shims to be reasonably priced when you need only some.

You can also use shims for Yamaha motorcycles.I believe the same diameter as a FJ 1100/1200 and the Venture Engine.If you like I can find out.
