Dr Dirt Shimming Use A Feeler Gauge
Dirt Shimming - Shim-Type Valve Adjustment
02 Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap between the cam lobe and the tappet bucket. The feeler gauge should be a snug fit where you feel a bit of a pull as it comes out. Feeler gauges that are angled at the tip are a bit easier to use, and the type with a rigid center section like those from Motion Pro work the best. Write down the clearances as you work. View Related Article
