What rocker gear have you got? EA-ED was different to EF-EL, and I think the HLA's changed again on hybrid and AU, I have a sneeking feeling EF-AU are the same however.

I will try and find the suitable washer size to use to replace or add to the shim thickness.

on a side note, if you are looking for washers, you need the OD not the ID to size them up otherwise wrong OD and you will smash it to bits.

alfy...

In the same boat as you atm...

Dad is a motor mechanic... The 3.9L have different shim sizes to the 4.0L he thinks... anything with a 4.0L ED style head should all be the same shims...

Cheers,
Tim
