I heard already that yamaha R1 valve shims were compatible with 2jz heads

Also through my searching I found some people saying that theres some yamaha shims that work with the 7M head, and they are the same as for the honda CBR600/900.

Also through my searching I see that yamaha r1 shims and honda CBR shims are the same...

Is this a case of

r1 = 2jz
7m = CBR
CBR = r1
therefore 7M should = 2JZ?

I'm about to swap in some US spec cams in my 2JZ, and I have 2 spare 7M heads in my garage....can I salvage some shims from those to adjust my valve lash in my 2JZ? I would check myself but I'm giving winter another 2 weeks to make it's last stand before I take my supra out from under her cover.

You can order the shims needed direct from Toyota, It only took a day or two to get the ones inthat I needed. However when I swapped the USDM 2jz cams into my 1jz I didnt need any shims, they were all good.
