GL1800 Gold Wing Maintenance Videos

Valve Shim Swap

Valve Shim Swap

Gold Wing valve shim replacement with camshaft removal, timing marks, cam-chain handling, shim selection, and clearance recheck.

I show how I change valve shims on a Honda GL1800 Gold Wing after a clearance check identifies valves that need adjustment. I cover left camshaft removal, timing-mark positioning, cam-chain handling, selecting and replacing shims, reinstalling the camshaft, and rechecking the clearances. I also explain the differences that matter when working with the cam timing and include practical tips for keeping every part and measurement organized.
