Evo X guys do, the 4B11s use shims over the valves. But realistically you're only bolting them in twice, first one to measure clearance with a feeler gauge, you do the math, order the right shims, then throw it all together. | ||

As expected of country grown vegetables Group: Special Snowflake Posts: 2,330 Member No.: 19,520 Joined: Aug 14th 2006 Location: Redondo Beach, CA. | not as bad as what i was told to do for assembling that chevy 350. I do recall having to install that camshaft about 3 times. first for a test fit and feeler gauge, then take apart, regrease, place it back in and do the paper print thing, then take apart, check if the paper stamped on, and only then can you reinstall and be finished with it. |

...Dam, i might have caused you to panic now. , it's just basic measurements of the gaps of piston ring end gaps and the journals gaps for oil...Or somethingUsing a plasti-gauge, to make sure that specifications are within OEM specs. *note what I'm about to say may be Complete BS* You pretty much place one of the green strips on the journal with the bearing? already in place. you then torque the cap on with torque specs. then you just remove it and compare the width of the now squashed green piece with the paper that you get. If the width is within specifications your okay on that journal. You repeat this with all journals. This affects oil thickness/pressure, if they're not within specs I'm sure the engine either will get damaged or won't run as should. If the piston ring end gap ain't right I'm sure the cylinder walls and rings will get damaged. If the valve train is adjustable, like Shims or just by a nut. you need to check those too. My teacher told us about a guy who either didn't do that or didn't put enough assembly lube on the camshaft lobes and within 20 or 30 secs, he pretty much grinded the lobes round(think circle instead of oval/egg shaped). He brought the camshaft and lifters to class the next day to show us. But, if it's hydraulic lifters / roller camshaft you don't really have to worry about that part. I passed engine rebuilding but by luck, and I've already forgotten all i learned...so yeah take it as a grain of salt. EDIT: just to let you know i have 2 engine blocks outside that i pretty much killed...And i tried to take out the pistons and it wouldn't come out then i realized later on that... I forgot to cut the ridge with a ridge reamer so that's why it no come out and i probably already damage the ring lands since i pretty much tried to hammer it out...now you know. ( i suck!!!)
