1.we shim over buckets is what we have in the 1jz???
2.Do they go bad & sound like a bad lifter???

I'm asking this cause around 3k rpms sounds like a DSM with bad lifters
then it goes away around 3500-4000 rpms, please i need some input.

why, you have a tapping noise from your top-end? They're probably just out of spec. Like Ric said, get a feeler gauge, and check.

Yeah it has a ticking noise when i free rev it, or if i low throttle the car around 3k rpms you can hear the ticking, plus there a little loud if i rev it with the hood open, there is no lack of power though.
