Failure Symptoms

The primary symptom of an incorrect or worn shim is audible valve train noise, such as ticking or tapping, and potentially a rough idle. If ignored, improper valve clearance can lead to reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and potential damage to valves or camshafts. The ultimate risk is severe engine damage from improper valve timing or seating.

Installation Tip

Always use a micrometer to verify the thickness of the shim before installation, even if it appears new, to ensure it matches the required specification. Ensure the shim is correctly seated on the valve stem or rocker arm without any tilting.

Service Note

Inspect the camshaft lobes, rocker arms, and valve springs for wear or damage when adjusting or replacing valve shims.
