Or do u have to pull the engine?

Also... are valve shims sold in kits or do they have to be bought indiviually? Special tool required for shim removal?

Yes you can do a topend with motor in frame,Id suggest atleast pulling the pan and checking pump while youre in there.
Its easier/cheaper to buy shims you need as you need them,Ive managed to collect buckets of them I should measure/organize them some day. B)
