too tight valves clearance

[lele]

Now my clearance is too loose.is it possible to add some material on the shims?

Sure. Buy a new shim and start over.

If you have a good relationship with your dealer, they may just swap out the shims for you. I have had to change 3 over the years on my 2005 and 2013, and in each case my dealer just swapped them for me, even though I told him I'd pay for them.

How did your clearances loosen up in the 5 years since you posted the original thread? (The answer is that they didn't!)

I was joking...

I remember on that check re-shim I found the last one exhaust valve on the cylinder 4 need a shim under the bucket of 1.50 mm. All others shims (both exhaust and intake) did range from 1.70 to 1.80 mm

did someone have notice only one single valve a lot more tight than the others?

what can be the cause?
