Measure the actual lash against the factory specification, then calculate the required shim thickness to bring the clearance within spec. A micrometer is required for accurate measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SPTCF-SHIM-1.95 compatible with the Supertech cam follower system for Honda K-series engines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupertech cam follower shims are used across multiple platform-specific cam follower applications. Verify the required shim diameter and thickness specification for your specific engine application against Supertech's catalog before ordering the SPTCF-SHIM-1.95.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if valve clearance is set incorrectly due to a wrong shim thickness?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncorrect valve clearance can result in valve train noise, premature wear on the cam lobes and followers, loss of power from incorrect valve timing, or in severe cases valve-to-piston contact. Accurate shim selection is critical during any engine assembly or rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the SPTCF-SHIM-1.95 be used in both intake and exhaust positions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCam follower shims can typically be used in both intake and exhaust positions provided the diameter and thickness match the required clearance specification. Confirm that your engine's intake and exhaust follower buckets accept the same shim diameter before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to replace all shims at once or just the ones out of spec?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly shims that are not bringing valve clearance within the factory specification need to be replaced. It is common to replace individual shims during a valve clearance check rather than replacing an entire set at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SPTCF-SHIM-1.95 available in other thickness increments?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupertech produces cam follower shims in multiple thickness increments to allow fine valve clearance adjustment.
