Does anyone know the stock shim sizes in order on the correct valve?

In my 05 the original shims had the numbers completely worn off. Later I was able to determine that the intake shims were like 155. It is my understanding that each engine is different and there is no such thing as a standard for the stock shims. In order to achieve the appropriate valve clearances each engine will need specific shims.
Good luck

This is true, my stock intake shims were 128. If you can't determine the size, then check the clearance on the valves and then take your shims to the local shop. They should have a caliper to check the sizes with and be able to tell you which shims you need according to the clearance you have.

There is not a set shim size in the motor. When Honda assembles the motor they use whatever size shim will give the correct clearance. The only way to see what you have is to look at the shim, or if the number is worn off, measure them.
