There is a discussion of shims and fillers in Part 9 of the 14th Edition Manual starting on page 9-15. Shims are used when spaces exist due to erection tolerances. Fillers are used when there are dimensional gaps. They basically are very similar and are treated as such in the Specification but they result from different fit-up situations. Section J3.8 and J5.2 discuss how fillers and shims affect the strength of the joint. They have different definitions in the glossary for your reference.

What is shim plate?
A shim is a spacer that holds things apart. Many commercially available shims are designed for a specific purpose, such as for holding a starter motor the necessary distance from the engine block, and as such those shims are produced in varying thicknesses. As one might guess, a "shim plate" would be a flat spacer that covers a little larger area.

How do you shim a car body?
To shim a body panel is to add a shim to bring the panel out so it is flush and smooth with the adjacent panel. Shims are thin flat U shaped pieces of metal. You loosen the bolt holding the panel and slide your shim or shims between the fender or body panel and chasis on the loosened bolt. Tighten it down good and check the fit. Piece of cake. Luck.
How do you adjust the valve on a 93 4runner V6 Eng?
the valves on this motor are adjusted by means of shims that go between the cam lobes and carriers which are also called buckets. the combination of the shim and bucket are pushed down by the cam lobe onto the top of each valve, thus opening the valve. adjusting the valves is a matter of measuring the clearence between the shim and cam (when the lobe is completely opposite the shim) if there is too much clearance a thicker shim must be used, if there is not enough clearance a thinner shim must be used. there is a chart in the repair manual because you not only have to know the clearance but the actual thickness of the shim so you can order the proper replacement shim. its not an easy job and is very time consuming. the intake plenum and cam covers have to be removed just to check them. if there needs to be an adjustment, you have to order a very specific shim size based upon very accurate measurement and calculation. good luck!
