Popped a rocker. Already found one of the shims and now we have the cams off. Still can't find the other shim! Where could it have gone?
The oil return passages are not very wide. They are actually a little wider right at their opening in the head then they are down below, What i mean is they get smaller as it goes down into the bottom end, so the shim will only be resting on top of one of the holes...its too big to actually go all the way down one of the passages. The mising shim, since oyu have the cams out and dont see it anywhere up top there, is prolly in the oil pan. When it cams off it prolly got knocked aorund by the cams and flew over by the timng chain and fell right down into the pan. Drop thaat SOB. It may(very slim chance) have slipped in between the coils of one of the springs while i was unsprung, so check in there. and take out your oil filter to make sure its not sitting in it<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by jacen99SE:
it can only be 3 places.
1. Still up top somewhere (maybe in that little area next to one of the valve springs). I don't think there are any other nooks for it to hide in.
2. In one of the oil return passages.
3. In the oil pan.
Does anyone know ho0w the size of the oil return passages compare to the size of the shims or rocker arm guides?
Are the shims and rocker arm guides magnetic?</font>
