If I understand it clearly. The HRF kit is for people using uprated cams on which the factory shims might not fit. These retain the clearances and strength necessary for bigger lobes. What you will have to do is re-shim which is cut new shims to the proper distances you have.

Well Toby says the kit doesn't come with Shims... just the springs, buckets and retainers.

ahan.. wat wat i am also thinking ..... any idea wat kind of shim we have to make ? any example ..

 

[Chris@CCM]

if u fine out what size the shims need to be u might be able to buy a set of them as lots of bikes use tis type of shim .also could u take a pix of the spring caps for me ? would like to see how the shim sits in them

[jezza323]

you should be able to get shims to suit from toyota, the late model 3SGE motor has shim under buckets which will fit a starlet

and the 1SZ yaris motor has shimless buckets which fit

hope this helps

Makes you wonder why people spend so so much for the hrf kit....

The stock setup wont see any problems at all up to 8k rpm easy and probably more, and you will not really need any higher then 8k rpm unless you have something like a TD05 on it!!!

Like Jezzer says, if i was going to change my shims it would be for yaris single piece lifters. Probably rather expensive though.

 

[Chris@CCM]

think using this type of shim u can use a higher lift cam shafts
