Measure the thickness of the removed shim using a
micrometer. Calculate the thickness of a new shim
using the chart listed on KSIS so that the valve
clearance comes within the specified value.
Intake: New shim = Thickness of old shim +
measured valve clearance - 0.0079 inches/0.20mm.
Exhaust: New shim = Thickness of old shim +
measured valve clearance - 0.0110 inches/0.28mm.
Select a new shim from the chart that is the closest in
value. Recheck the valve clearance after installation of
new shim. Shim selection chart is available for both
intake and exhaust valve clearances. Refer to KSIS for
chart.
