Woow, slow down there Clark. The shims are a very tried and true method. I
know three racers, one professional and more machine shops than I can count
that highly recommend this as a good fix. The geometry change that you are
affecting is minimal at best and not necessarily a bad thing. While I do not
claim to be a star engine builder, I do know a few that are I would not
easily lay the claim they were passing bad info. For a street car that is
not having pushrods changed every week, I would be extremely hesitant to
place stock pushrods into a head that has been cut as severe as yours has,
That in itself will mess up your valve geometry. The only way to keep that
100% the same is properly cut pushrods. Not in my budget, but those $2 shims
sure are. Don't rely on only one source for your info, otherwise you are
making uninformed statements, and providing the list with some very terrible
info.
