So, I've been led to believe that Suzuki Hayabusa,buckets and valve retainers can be used on an Fj head to facilitate shim under bucket in a tuned head.
Fascinating if true....

I think I've read the same thing too.   I've looked up all kinds of buckets online - it definitely looks like the Busa buckets will work.  Share what you find please — may be one of the follow on mods for the race bike head.

Is it a problem with FJ engines spitting out shims?

Drag bikes, with their big pointy cams, sure, but otherwise?
