What is a valve adjustment and how to I adjust my valves?

A valve adjustment is adjusting the clearance between the cam and the top of the valve. In between the top of the valve and the cam may be any sort of rocker arm, bucket, shim ETC. On these shim style Toyota engines like the 3SGTE, 2JZGTE etc they have a shim on top of the bucket and in late models below.

Also referred to as valve clearance

Nice, concise explanation. I'll be referring to this when I check the clearances on my 3RZ.

Slipping the shims out without taking all the caps off is such a nice trick. Had been dreading trying to check the clearances on my own cause my MR2 is fairly noisy and I feel way better about it!

Do you think this tool will work for adjusting Suzuki (M13A)? Thank you for the video really helpful and well done

is it better shim on bucket or shimless bucket?

If a timing belt snaps how often does the valve dropped

The nut and bolt type tapet might be easier to adjust but more often the nut strips and requires replacement 👎
