Valve Clearance ADJUSTMENT

trepetti said:

I don't like to reuse gaskets, so when I do mine, I purchase a new:
Valve cover gasket
Timing cover gasket
Water pump drain crush washer
CCT gasket

Also a good time to replace spark plugs if you are so inclined.

I don't have them handy. You will find that the web has some GREAT resources to look up parts. I use partzilla. If you have no others, take a look and get familiar.

Greetings,
I have a 2004 fz6s with approximately 58,000 kilometers on it, and the valves have never been adjusted. Upon disassembling the engine and reaching the shims, no markers can be observed on them.
What do you advise me to do?
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Does anyone know what markers the original shims should have?

I used a digital caliper to measure the old shims (and the new ones).. And then change out accordingly:

Thanks, I see that I didn't told that some shims are out of their original form ( not a perfect cylinder, or a perfect round form). And because of that measuring with a digital caliper can be faulty.

Well, measure the best you can and start putting good shims in and
re-checking (and adjusting)
