So I had my head remachined last year and when I took it home from the shop there was a loud ticking. I left it stored for the winter and took the head apart this spring. I realized that I was missing a shim under a rocker arm. (The second spring from the bottom of the pic).

The small shim that is shiny at the top is missing from the bottom one. I know they are different thicknesses so how do I figure out what thickness it is supposed to be??

I Know there is an actual tool that can do it from nissan but the tool is like $200... I obviously can't spend that for ONE shim...
