did you have the buckets out? If so did they slide back in ok? Did you coat them with oil?

[rickyz1984]

yes sorry just checked it over again and made the mistake of looking at the wrong year for the shims in my manual thanks for the help i need to pay more attension

[tech24]

sorry Im confused, are you checking valve clearence with a feeler guage or just measuring the shims?

[rickyz1984]

i used a feeler guage but i i was looking at the gap for a 2000 madel and mine is a 2002 ive just changed the shims again and its all fine now thanks foer the help
