[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 222762, member: 4617"] Short update. Have ordered the piston ring set from Rock Auto - $50.00 CDN delivered. This is the piston ring set I mentioned in post #37 - ordered the set that is 1.0 mm oversize. Have one Honda head gasket on order - had one on hand already. Transmission cover gasket on order as well. Looked at parts availability. Will be taking another stab at the hydraulic lifter shim adjustment now that I know what to look for. Found two hydraulic lifter end caps in Slave Lake Alberta, last two in Canada. These are only used on the intake lifters, and need to come out to check the shim adjustment. Went to the local fastener place and got some thinner washers that I will use as hydraulic liter shims. The OEM shim stock is one size - 1.0 mm. The washers I purchased are 0.71 mm, just enough to get rid of any ticking, and should work well when the shim reading is on the line between one, two or no shims. The rear engine case gasket may be in Manitoba, but can make one if needed. Want to do the hydraulic lifter adjustment before end next week. Get it sorted out then move on to the piston rings.
