Shims WHAT ?*&?!& *pics*

[MR2boy]

Ok can anyone who has taken a silvertop 4age head off tell me what these 3 things
are and how many of the washers there are supposed to be?

I've got 10 washers I asume they are to keep the shims? in place for when vvt
kicks in? If thats true am I supposed to have 12? Does it matter if I use normal washers
for the two I am possible missing?

There are 10 head studs which should have washers under them

The washer for the head bolts, cups are for the shims which go over the valves

I truly hope you have numbered those shims so that you know which bucket to locate to which valve. Otherwise you'll have to measure clearances and reshim every bucket.
