Est. Time

Tools Required
- Service manual for the specific engine
- Feeler gauges (metric)
- Micrometer or digital caliper (to verify shim thickness)
- Torque wrench
- Basic hand tools (sockets, ratchet, extensions, screwdrivers)
- Magnetic pickup tool or shim tool (for bucket-type tappets)
- Clean shop towels
Pro Tips
- Work on a cold engine and follow the OEM service manual procedure exactly.
- Lay out a diagram of the cylinder head and label each valve; record old and new shim sizes for every position.
- Use a micrometer to verify shim thickness even if the size is laser-etched.
- Keep the work area very clean to avoid debris entering the engine.
- Lightly oil shims before installation to prevent corrosion and ease installation.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not recording original shim sizes and positions before removal
- Mixing up intake and exhaust shims
- Failing to recheck valve clearances after installing new shims
- Measuring valve clearance on a warm engine instead of cold (when the manual specifies cold)
- Not rotating the engine through two full revolutions and rechecking clearances
- Using shims with unverified thickness if markings are worn off
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
Functionally equivalent to OEM valve shims when the correct diameter and thickness are used. Hot Cams shims are hardened and precision ground like OEM.
Improvements
- Cost-effective alternative to OEM individual shims
- Convenient assortment and refill packaging for frequently used sizes
- Standard 0.05 mm increment sizing simplifies valve clearance setup
Considerations
- Must match OEM shim diameter exactly (e.g., 7.48 mm, 9.48 mm, 10 mm, etc.)
- Always verify thickness with a micrometer when precision is critical
- Use only within the valve clearance and shim range allowed by the OEM manual
Durability & Warranty
Expected Lifespan
Typically lasts the service life of the valve train when installed correctly and used with proper lubrication.
Warranty
Standard manufacturer defect warranty only (no wear warranty typically offered on shims).
Maintenance
No direct maintenance of the shim; follow OEM valve inspection intervals and re-shim only as needed based on clearance checks.
