My head is off. I have purchased delta cams 264 weld and grind. The guy at Delta said I have to adjust my valves and tighten the lash. He says 0.006 thou on the intake and 0.008 on the exhaust side. He said I have to either lap the valves more or grind the valve stems to compensate for the difference. My new valves are .015 -.005 thou short.
Should I bolt the cams onto the head or can I just rest them on top and check the clearance between the lifters and the cam lobes? Will I need to remove the valve springs? I'm doing this all backwards, I just spent two hours putting the valve springs back in with needle nose pliers. Is there another way?? -------------------- |

QUOTE (Bitter @ May 7, 2015 - 7:06 PM) ok but they may not be the right thicknesses, you should probably just buy the right buckets or shims and do it right once, would suck to eat a cam lobe or burn a valve from incorrect lash. correct the 1ZZ uses shimless buckets. you need to measure the size you need and find the right bucket. it gets expensive. you are better off getting the right shim. follow the chart posted above and get the right shim. yes there are several engines that use the same shims. 1MZ, 3MZ, 3S-GTE, 5S-FE, 7A-FE, 2JZ,GTE, 2JZ-GE, 5VZ-FE. they all use the same shims -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
