What is SHIM, VALVE ADJUSTING in Toyota engine years 1992 to 2002

[@condor5635]

Great video. Cracked up when you dropped the sprocket twice!! Correct thickness of replacement shim is N=T+(A-V) where T is the thickness of the old shim, A is the valve clearance measured, N is the thickness of the new shim and V is the desired valve clearance

[@callmebackfriday2]

Very simple explanation. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 🍗

a friendly tip. invest in rubber floor mats around ur work table just in case a precision part of the car falls of the table it wont get damaged. and its good on the feet too.

[@joshuapaisley7289]

My experience with Toyota lifters is that a magnet is very helpful. The lifter buckets on my 1uz are aluminum while the shims are steel. This means you can pull the lifter as a unit or just the lifter depending on how you use your magnet. Be very careful not to scratch the shim when removing it from the magnet. I found a small amount of motor oil to be helpful with this. Hope this helps!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank You. :-)

Peter you are officially my favorite Toyota mechanic! 👍 Usually when I drop parts I get really angry. You dropped the sprocket 2 times, no sweat👍 well done.

really nice video, I love to work on Japanese cars, and now I bought a Toyota 4 runner and I replace the heads gaskets but when I put everything back together I made a mistake, I put some of those valve lifters on aleatory place because before I don't know about this valve shims for the valve adjusting, and actually the engine has a really bad valve noise, i need to fix it and this video help me a lot, tanks

[@muffinman1157]

Love the humor. Great vid!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for info. :-)

[@michaeldunagan8268]

Uhm...I thought checking the valve cleance requires 1) cold engine; 2) timing set to 0 and both valves loose; 3) stick feeler gauge under the lobe and above the lifter to measure any gap. Measuring the shim does not check the gap.

[@krisnickfffs]

I was laughing pretty hard at the beginning when you dropped that gear twice 😂

Hi Peter, thanks to share your knowledge. I did a great effort to understand english, but i got it. I´ve two questions, 1) do you know what shim thickness for a 7AFE corolla motor and 2) i don´t understand why add 0.20 mm to total? if i suppose that 3.03 is original thickness.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi, sorry. I need to investigate.

[@juancarlosrobles3890]

oka! i found a autozone manual to know the exactly shim size to toyota motors, similar than you explanation. i asked cause i´ll trait to do this procedure in my corolla 1995. thanks, have a good day.

Yes, they are. You must measure the gaps tolerance. And you can get new shim from Toyota dealer !

hi Peter, it is nescessary to re-adjust valve clearrance if replace head gasket? but my car corolla occurs valve noise after replace head gasket without adjust clearrance.....why？

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

No, only gasket replace is need.

[@jamestweedy7562]

lololo Robert if you moved any of the buckets or shim's when you changed your head gasket then yes that is why you are getting the taping noise

[@puksrasohchurrun]

With ohc no, pushrod engines yes. But still a good idea to check and correct clearances whilst you are in there friend

Hello my friend:) can you use shims with the same diameter, from a different engine or do they have to be toyota? What is the diameter of toyota corolla shim for a 4 efe engine the 1.3 Thanks for vid I really laughed when you dropped the part twice :) I liked your vid thanks .

Nice video very informative but pls dont drop the parts. Hehe

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@7316bobe]

Look this is not a very good video to explain how to do the shims on a Toyota 1992 to 2002 twin cam motor. You do not have to remove the cams just to replace the shims in this motor. Measure the back of the cam lobe to the original old shim. Work out what shim size you need. Use a shim bucket depressor tool to take the old shim out and to put the new shim in. Release the shim bucket depressor tool off the cam shaft and use it on the next shim bucket. Do this with all the valve shims and the motor is good to go. Do not use a round pick to get the old shims out as this never works, instead use a very small thin bladed screw driver and this will work every time. To do this job just take take the spark plugs out then the valve cover off and go ahead turning the cam shafts around with a spanner on the tool flats cast onto the cam shafts. Turn the cam shafts and do the shims as you go. It is very easy to do. You do not have to take any thing apart to do this job.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok

[@7316bobe]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Hi well at least we had a good look inside the top of the motor with your video. I own one of these cars and have done the shims a couple of times now. They are good motors. Mine has 307,000 kms on it now and has never given me any trouble.

No, I don't recommend any mystery oil to cars.

If I had to take the entire cam assembly apart to do a valve adjustment I would shoot myself. I will say that this car has been super reliable, but working on it has been extremely frustrating.
