Robbie,
    Since the engine is out of the car I would assume that you have time =
to wait for the parts to arrive in the mail. =20
    The site below shows the procedure.  It should go directly to the =
'tech procedures' page.  Rick Kellner.

  I just checked my valve clearances today.  The intake valves are all =
about right-on, but EVERY exhaust valve is off(could that have anything =
to do with the fact that I just had new exhaust valve guides pressed =
in?).  Anyway, can I just get adjustment shims from a NAPA-type place or =
do I have to go to Potter, or, ugh, the dealer(!).  Also, any tips on =
switching them would be nice.  The engine is out of the car right now, =
and the only step I think I may have trouble with is seperating the shim =
from the thing it seats in.  I don't have the special pliers, what else =
will work?

  Thanks,

  Rob
