My first post here but I've used this write up to do my cousins(now my) predator. My big question is, when you get down to the 120 shims and the valves tighten up again, what's the fix? New valves? And how hard is that to do? I'm pretty handy with a wrench
Instead of having to hold the cam tensioner the entire time with a screw driver, you can remove the whole tensioner assembly by just loosening the tensioner bolt, then taking out the two bolts that hold it to the cylinder. Then just bolt it back on when you have the cams back in and the chain back on. It simplifies the process.

Super post. Busy adjusting my valves now an the intake side also has no gap, not even the thinnest gauge will fit. Now i am a bit confused as to how i can get the correct shim size without buying a whole set cause here in South Africa its extremely expensive for a kit.Any ideas will be super appreciated
I can not get the thinnest feeler.0015 I belive under my intake valves. I have a 175 and can't tell the other. What size shim will I need to correct this
How does the intake side get too tight? Sims like as the shim smushes it would get looser? Maybe I am thinking about it backwards.
I will measure with filler and then used a caliper to find the shim that get me close to the measurement I need. I have a shim kit. Any concerns getting the timing off doing this? Or as long as I line the cam marks on the sprockets back where they were I will be good?
