Valve lifters 3.4 5vzfe engine.

I have looked around and have not found any answers to the question I have about the lifters in my 3.4 5vzfe engine. My question is " are these lifters adjustable?" I have a lifter making a big racket. I've driven it about 30 miles to see if it would quiet down but no luck.l just want to know if they are adjustable or do they have to be replaced all together? I, of course would replace the complete set of lifters and the cam seals, valve cover gaskets, and intake manifold gaskets. Returning to the question at hand, any info on this would be appreciated thank you in advance for your help.

Each valve has a 'bucket' that accepts a shim puck of selectable thickness.

Valve shims

Okay I'll tear into it and get a look for myself. Any ideas on where I can find the info on this procedure? I have a Hanes repair manual but there is no mention of this information or the procedure by which to complete it. Also, do these shims come in different thicknesses and can they be purchased as a kit? Thank you for your time and help with this and I really do appreciate it.
