    Valve clearance on Toyota and Lexus OHC engines is adjusted using shims of varying thicknesses. To determine the correct shim size, measure the existing clearance and shim thickness. Use a formula to calculate the new shim thickness based on actual and specified clearance. Shim sizes are available in 0.050mm increments from 2.500mm to 3.300mm. Intake clearance is 0.15-0.25mm while exhaust is 0.20-0.30mm.

    Subject: Valve adjustment on all OHC engines with shim-type valve adjusters
    Symptom: Code 25 (lean condition) or rough idle due to inadequate valve clearance
    Source: Toyota service manuals
    Valve clearance even slightly below the minimum specification may be the cause of the
    above symptoms. For optimum results, valves should be adjusted so clearance is mid-range,
    within the specification.
    Valve adjustment on several Toyota overhead cam (OHC) engines is done by installing shims
    of different thicknesses. You can calculate the correct shim thickness by using the formula in
    Table TA005-1 and using the accompanying charts to select the correct intake or exhaust
    valve shim.
    Shims are available in 17 sizes in increments of 0.050 mm (0.0020 inch) from 2.500 mm
    (0.0984 inch) to 3.300 mm (0.1299 inch). Toyota shim numbers are listed on the charts.

    z To determine the correct shim thickness:


    1. Rotate the camshaft and measure the existing valve clearance according to Toyota
    procedures for the engine being serviced.
    2. Compare the measured clearance to specifications for the correct valve clearance.
    3. Press the lifter bucket down and use a small screwdriver and magnet to remove the
    current shim. Measure the shim with a micrometer.
    4. Calculate the correct shim size using the following formula:

    Table TA005-1 Shim size formula


    FORMULA EXAMPLE
    T Thickness of current shim (shim removed) T 2.800 mm
    A Actual measured valve clearance A 0.450 mm
    S Specified valve clearance S 0.200 mm
    2.800 + (0.450 0.200) = 2.800 + 0.250 =
    NT New shim thickness NT
    3.050
    NS New shim number, T + (A S) NS No. 24 shim, 3.050 mm

    Refer to Table TA005-2 for intake valve clearance, and Table TA005-3 for exhaust valve
    clearance.

    Intake valve clearance (cold): 0.15–0.25 mm (0.006–0.010 in.)


    For example, with a 2.800 mm shim installed and a measured clearance of 0.450 mm,
    replace the 2.800 mm shim with shim No. 24 (3.050 mm).

    For example, with a 2.800 mm shim installed and a measured clearance of 0.450 mm,
    replace the 2.800 mm shim with shim No. 22 (3.000 mm).
