well first you need to get that shim out of your head
FOD floating around in you engine = No bueno

if you find it and its not broken in half you can just throw it back in.

Bleed your lifters... You need to pull each one out, put it in a small container of oil and press on the ball valve on the inside of the lifter with a small rod, I used a small allen wrench. Make sure you get all the bubbles out before re-installing them.

ok thx, i had gotten the car checked by someone else and came to a conclusion that i have a exhaust leak right at my manifold which lead to bending a valve, so that makes sense to me now, what do you guys think
