[Supras] 89 NA Lifter Noise

[Jeff Mohler]

Well, if you have a good supply of replacement shims available, you
should be able to do this in a day at home.

Teardown is 95% the same as doing spark plugs, except you go an extra
step to pull valve covers.

Get the snapon tool to be able to remove/add shims.

Its in the TSRM online.


If you dont get donor shims, then you have to tear down & measure,
then go back in later with the shims..so you can leave it tore down,
or put it back together then tear it down again later.
