I recently checked my valve clearance on my 99 tercel.
all was good except for one of the exhaust valves has a 0.017" gap (tolerence in the service manual is 0.016" max).
should I care about this? will it get just worse with time?
does anyone know where to get the little valve shims if I do need to fix it?

You buy replacement shims from Toyota.
Or swap with another cylinder and check to see if they both are then in tolerence.
Just neeed too mix and match.
