im having a problem. I have installed valve springs and tomei solid cams. I did the calculations with a feeler gauge, and the results ive gotten seem as if the valve are sitting to low. Most off the numbers i got are to high that tomei doesnt even make shims that large( above 3mm). I even put the stock shims (3mm) on top of the retainers and after installing the rocker and cam the rocker just can be moved around easily ( there is to much clearance between the cam and rocker). WHAT IS WRONG?!?!? is it the cams, the valves ?!?!?
