[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1219544, member: 238"] Answering the OP's original question. FJRs use shims 9.48mm diameter and[I] typically[/I] between 1.75 - 1.90mm thickness, although there are always exceptions. [URL="https://procycle.us/hotcams/valve_shims.htm#"]Hot Cams[/URL] is a popular kit, but there is a lot of waste with the large assortment of included sizes. Shims can also be ordered individually but the million $$$ question is what size are needed. Some have also visited their local dealer and purchased used shims of the correct size or in the case of frugal Yankee's, lapped shims to the correct thickness.
