[QUOTE=airchomper;9544666]Yes, quite a few. The joys of flipping Japanese motorcycles. I helped out a friend with a beemer and it had a shim under bucket system. Shim over bucket, shim under bucket, it's all the same idea. I'm here telling people that it's very unlikely that any 3UZ needs the service unless its been driven 20k+ miles per year since inception.

What about if the car has 400k+ miles? I'm experiencing a slight lack of power. I service my 3UZ regularly on time everytime without fail. Would a shim kit take care of it?

No such thing as a shim kit. You measure the clearance and if out of spec, replace the shim. With that said, anyone know the Toyota tool number for the 2UZ-FE?
