Failure Symptoms

An improperly functioning shim may initially present as an audible ticking or tapping noise from the engine's upper end. If left unaddressed, this can lead to increased wear on camshaft lobes and valve lifters, potentially causing reduced engine performance and efficiency.

Installation Tip

Ensure the camshaft and lifter surfaces are meticulously clean before installing a new shim to prevent premature wear. Avoid overtightening any related components, as this can damage the new shim or other valve train parts.

Service Note

Inspect camshaft lobes and valve lifters for wear when replacing shims.
