Yes, I believe '02 and beyond are shim under bucket, which requires cam
removal AFAIK. But '01 is definitely shim over bucket. I was responding
to another gentle whose dealer for some reason believe it is easier to
remove ones cams than to just hold the bucket down to replace the shim.


BTW, read the service manual, you might not be able to rotate the engine
360 deg with a valve held down!!

I'll repeat to ensure no one comes back to me saying they bent a valve
because they did what I said without referring to the service manual!
