Replacing Shims On Rb26 Head

[Don Dada]

I have some noisy fu@%rs playing around in my 26 head that i believe are worn shims....kinda noisy tappets sound.

Anyway just a quick question really.... Can the shims be replaced without taking off the head???

Mind u, i haven't checked the clearances as yet, but i guess the shims are the only culprits when it comes to this kinda noise?!?

yes

just remove the cams and then buckets...look inside the buckets and there will be the shim.

I was actually thinking the same thing, but guess what........ my mechanic says the head needs to come off!!!

I will be using the manual for guide lines in terms of clearances and stuff, is there any thing special to look out for?

Times like this i wish i was in Aus.
