shim job parts

[philallemang]

iam going to do some major work this up coming month. alot of major senors and items such as timing belt and waterpump. i wanted to know where can a guy get the special tools to do the shim job? can i get them at autozone or do i have to go to a a sho shop? what are the names of the tools too? same thing with the shims. can i get them at autozone or have to get them at a sho sho? what the gaskets that i need to replace after putting it all back together? basically i want to know what i am going to need just for a shim job and where to get it? LOL

You need Tappet depressor and Tappet hold down tool (shoshop cheapest) dental pick set (got mine at harbor freight tools 5 bucks for set of 6) but any scribe tool will work. Set of feeler gauges (SEARS has a 26 piece set has every inc. starting at .005) metric socket and wrench set up to 19mm and set of metric alen (socket for torque wrench), Torque wrench, screw driver (+/-), Berrymans B-12 Carb cleaner, Shims (sweet talk Shoman94) or if you have a spare ride for a couple of weeks check them and then order what you need. Bag of shop rags, Felpro gasket set on parts list I'll send you via email. good time to change your pluggs and wires. Intake gasket (qty2)

Any one see anything I left out.
