[Mk2] [Turbo] valve clearance issues

Post by alienguy121988 »

I put bc 264 cams in my mr2 turbo and now my valve clearances are WAY off. The shim sizes needed range from 3.05 to 3.5mm. shims are available in sizes 2.5 to 3.3? I'm running out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like you have reground cams... ?

In which case you're going to have to get custom made shims.

there are other manufacturers shims that fit and are generally bigger. It's what we use and grind down to suit.

Is there any way you could point me in the right direction for these other shims? I've been googling all day and haven't found much...
