Wish I could find a place in nebraska that had shims, lucky guy. I'm dreading ordering shims from z1 enterprises, then reordering more shims when I figure out what i need.

I might be able to fix 2,3,4 with the shims I have currently. I don't know if I can spin the shims. I'm currently putting the cams back on. Ill let you know in a bit

It looks to me that you will require a bunch of 250/255 shims. I would get one 240 shim and use that to check all the measurements. It looks like that you will have the shims to set maybe 3 of your valves and have to replace the rest.
I don't think that I would want to use the Taurus shims. They have a hole in them that will allow air to get between the shim and the bucket more easily than the shims we use. This can cause the shims to be spit out at the RPM we run our engines at. I use the standard Yamaha motorcycle shims because of the lower price.

Well I bought a 2.40mm shim from z1e and ill get my measurements and hopefully somebody will want to swap me shims and yes I could turn the shims.
