hey guys, not sure how i got to thinking about it, but i have a red top high comp on my engine stand im going to tear down and have some work done to the head. i was going to fully disassemble the head and send it to OST for some of his magic motor head work. when i put it back together i was going to make sure everything was to spec and i got to thinking about the shim specs.
do i just go off the 3rib blue top shim specs in the FSM or do i need to look up the shim specs for the ae92?
ive tried a couple searches but all i got was a few dead ends and a couple threads on blue top shims as the topic.
do let me know, thanks in advance guys!

Re: quick question on red top high comp shims
ok, so ive been up for like 28 hours (thanks military!), and after thinking about it and re-reading what i wrote i may have totally over thought that. im pretty sure i would just check the clearances the same as i would with the blue top. but i just want to make sure. i need to go to bed. like asap.

You can clay the motor to make sure... always a good idea to do that after the head has been messed with on high compression motors.

^yea, after i get the tomei PONcams ima recheck everything and then write all the numbers down, then see about doing the shimless conversion from the yaris.
