June 3, 201114 yr are there shims avaliable for the EA82 lash adjusters. i have replaced all the HLA's on the side of the engine that is clacking, pulled the cam carrier, put a straight edge on top of the HLA's and found one that sits in further then the others. come to find out that some how the bucket got pushed in and thats causing the lifter to sit in. should i just put my other head on, or can i shim the lifter?
June 3, 201114 yr Answer is no. I'd reseal the oil pump before doing anything else. If that fails, just have the HLA rebuilt.

GD f'ing thank you. never ever thought of using dimes. i went down to the hardware and bought some washers that fit perfectly in the bottom of the bucket, then ground it down to .0040. it almost completely got rid of the clacking. just a few more thousandths. i'll probably do it again and go .0050.
