Adjusting valve clearance not as simple as turning an adjustment screw. Each cam lobe bears directly against a disk-shaped steel shim of precisely machined dimensions. Changing valve clearance is done by removing the shim and substituting another with a different thickness. This service procedure requires special tools. The shims are made in thicknesses ranging from 2.32mm to 2.95mm. They can be purchased from the dealer. I'm not aware of any other source for these shims.
See Chilton (page 1-30) or Haynes (page 2B-5).
