Yes, that is the correct way to do it. Set them to .006 intake and .010 exhaust. :icon_biggrin:

the kit is great to have on hand.... that way you have all the shims that you might need.
we have them in stock... and sell them to members for $68.00 shipped.
Pm me if you need one.
thanks

If you want to buy a shim kit you can but you could also just call your stealership and they will sell them to you individually
ok thanks guys

problem is they charge alot for the individual shims.... after a few shim changes, you could have had the whole shim kit to own rather than spend a fortune on individuals at the dealer.If you want to buy a shim kit you can but you could also just call your stealership and they will sell them to you individually[/b]

Very true.....$68 shipped for the kit is a good price. Setting your valve lash is not plug and play, alot of times you will install what seems to be the right pad, but you will not achieve the right clearance. I recommend buying the whole kit.problem is they charge alot for the individual shims.... after a few shim changes, you could have had the whole shim kit to own rather than spend a fortune on individuals at the dealer.[/b]
yes, buy the whole kit... or find a friend with one like i did. =P
my dealers price is 7 a pop, so assuming i had to change them all, it would have been $35 and thats also assuming i got it right first try.
