Question..
the built head i bought came through fedex and of course, they mis handled it, so the valve shims were all over the inside of the box.

I was wondering if there are different shim sizes per each valve?

I just put them in according to how i imagined it would look.. couple of them were still in place above the valve, but some were stuck in the middle of the head and such.

there is a math equation you can do to figure out which one goes where. bust out your feeler gauge and pop open the fsm!
