[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1397925, member: 6354"] My 2003 needed one valve adjusted at 97,000 miles, and that was only .001 tight. I was able to swap shims with another valve to get it in spec, keeping the other one in spec as well. As stated, this motor rarely needs a significant change in valve clearance, and while it's a pain, you [I]can[/I] check it and button it back up while you shop for shims, all you'll need is o-rings for the coolant pipes, and it may be that nothing needs to be done and you're all set!
