You're really gonna love it when you find out you have to remove the cams to get to the shims--its in the manual...

The service manager at the dealer said that shim under bucket (I think he called it) was historically very reliable on other engines and didn't need a lot of adjustments.

I've got two 1993 Toyota Land Cruisers one with 178,000 miles and the other 260,000 miles. They have shim under bucket and are still within spec after all these years and miles. I don't rev 'em as hard as my CB though!
