Does anyone know a good place to get these shims? I gave Toyota World a call and would take 8-10 weeks to be delivered. Maybe someone in Europe/Japan could help out smile.gif

They are tiny round disks that go at the top of the valve stem, but under the tappets in the head. They are different in thickness depending on the lenth of the valve or the clearance needed for the cam lobe
