+Once you have recorded the clearances and the shim sizes you want to use the shimulator to calculate your new shims.
+There are two ways to perform this procedure and you'll need to decide which method is better for you.
+The two ways of doing this are with the engine removed and the engine still in the frame.  I've outline the pros, cons below.
+Removed Pros: easier to access valve cover, shims, timing and everyting else.  You might also find additional issues that you might not be able to find otherwise
+Removed Cons:  adds additional time and requires more tools.
+  * Remove valve cover (8mm)
+  * Remove chain guard
+  * Remove bridges one at a time
+     * Remove top right first, then top left, then bottom right, then bottom left
+:!: You must loosen the bolts evenly starting with the middle bolts.
+:!: Only loosen a few revolutions at a time.  If you don't do this the bridge will break!
