You won't know the size of shims needed until you use the feeler gauge to assess the current valve lash.

You need to know:

What is it supposed to be?
What is it currently?
What size shims are installed?

Using this info, you can ascertain which shims you need to buy and replace.

I have a spreadsheet that you punch these values into, and it spits out what shims you need to buy.

Let me know if you want it.
