    Please read this from a trusted site on the valve lash.

    EASIEST WAY TO ADJUST THE VLV ON THE LATE 3.2 AND THE 3.5 IS TO SIMPLY REMOVE THE SHIM AND TURN IT OVER AND YOU ARE OR SHOULD BE BACK TO THE ORIGINALL VLV ADJUSTMENT AND YOU ARE CORRECT THE SHIM IS SUPPOSSED TO WEAR NOT THE BUCKET ALL IT DOES IS HOLD THE SHIM IN PLACE, AND IF THE SPECS ARE OK DON,T TOUCH THEM THESE THINGS ARE TIME CONSUMING TO ADJUST AND YOU WILL NEED THE LITTLE OFFSET HOLDERS TO HOLD THE BUCKET DOWN WHILE YOU LIFT THE SHIM OUT OF THE BUCKET , IF THE SHIM HAS TO BE REPLACED , SELECT THE SHIM THAT IS THE CLOSEST TO THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE CALLED FOR IN THE SHOP MANUAL, AND BY THE WAY THERE IS NO SHIM KIT AVAILABLE FORM ISUZU, YOU HAVE TO ORDER THEM BY THE SIZE YOU NEED ,, AS THERE ARE 24 SHIMS PER ENG AND EACH SHIM IS AVAILABLE IN 40 DIFF SIZES AND EACH ONE IS ABOUT 7-8 DOLLARS EACH THEY RANGE FROM 2.40 MM TO 3.18 MM IN .02 MM STEPS SO YOU WOULD NEED A BUNCH TO HAVE A SET COMPLETE IF THE ENG HAS A VERY SLIGHT TICKING IT USUALLY ISN,T WORTH THE TIME OR TROUBLE TO ADJUST THEM IF THEY ARE IDOLING WITH A VERY STEADY RYTHMIC SOUND , AND NONE ARE LOUDER THAN THE OTHER I WOULD LEAVE THEM ALONE .

How to do a timing change on 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas

Timing is going to be non-adjustable as far as the ignition is concerned. Are you refering to the timing chain? If so, this "should" be good for the life of the engine. If there is a performance issue, I can help diagnose it. Let me know and I will continue to help.
