I have been doing a lot of research and cant find a clear answer. I am about to order some parts for my motor and need some advise.

Parts im ordering are

Brian Crower BC0201 Camshafts Stage 2 Street Strip 264/264
Brian Crower BC Valve Springs / Retainer
Genuine Nissan OEM Complete Engine Gasket Kit (Set-top end rebuild kit)
OEM Nissan S13 SR20DET Complete Timing Chain Kit
Nissan OEM S13 SR20DET Front Timing Cover Oil Pump Assembly
Apexi (86mm x 1.1mm) Metal Head Gasket SR20DET S13 S14 S15
ARP Hardened 12 pt. Engine Head Studs Kit (rps Bolts)


So am I missing anything? Do I need to change the rocker arm shims as well? If so can I get them from fwd sr20de? Looking though an s-14 (sr) FSM, I cant seem to find the part where it talks about measuring for the shims, I thought that b/c the lifters were hydraulic there would be no need to replace shims unless they were damaged.

Can I just re-use the shims??? Providing that I don’t mix them up..

Can someone please shed some light on this??


TIA
