May 13, 201510 yr Hi all I've been looking on the net for what the correct lash/ clearance should be for the cam lobe and cam follower over shim bucket , as I have found some where to by the different thickness shims , As it states in service manual these should be checked every 100'ooo miles , I'm on 110'ooo miles and engine is quite tappety on startup , so just wanted to check for the right clearance don't want burnt valves :-) Also can I convert to under bucket shims , ?

May 14, 201510 yr I'm not up to speed on newage spec but I wasn't aware that newage had "shims" I thought it was only some v2sti ra's and v3/v4 sti's that had shims . My v1 sti and my v3 uk both have hydraulic lifters (lash caps) which don't have separate shims There's a few pdf manuals on here bud [emoji6] http://ken-gilbert.com/impreza-manuals
