My name is Blythe and yes I'm an amateur Mechanic/Girl. I recently acquired a mint condition 88 supra with the 7MGTE motor. Targa top, leather, and to top that: NO RUST. The car has been babied most of it's life and never seen as much as an ounce of bad weather, that is until some pain in the...

well I had a hunch and tore into it again, and am working on a valve adjustment. Thank god for connections. well anyway I can get my shims at a dealer pretty cheap. But I guess my main question is... If the valve has no clearance at all, Is this a sign that the valve itself is bad? my 5th valve...
