More details from spud. Toyota have a special tool but claim none left. Need to compress the valve and then apply something in a small notch to keep it depress whist removing the shim/s. Any ideas? Looks like another option is to measure all and then remove the camshafts - a lot of extra work. I have a spar car for spares, so should have plenty of spacers to work with. Ironically the spare car at over 300kkm is quiet and sweet but the going car is a bit noisy in the tappets. Spud
