ive searched on here and on many diffrent sites but i was wondering if any one makes them in a universal kit that comes with all the diffrent sizes. i found them on mynismo for the separate shims, but i dont want to spend all the money on the wrong ones. if any one knows if they do make them in a set id really appreciate the link to the site. thanks

here is the separate ones i found

measure first, then buy. Have a fake lifter machined out of aluminum and tap it for a dial indicator stand. Order a full set of guides if you don't have any and place them, then measure the difference between the top of the guide, and the top of the valve stem on the other valve in the pair. Thats the size of shim you need. If you want an idea of the tool I'm talking about look in an S14 aussie FSM and its listed/shown in the tools section for the head.
