I assumed that was the norm for shim setups.

So anyways ignore all I've said here lol.
Well, it's still good info in regards to engines. Just not most motorcycles. It was a "thing" in the 80's and early 90's, then everything went shim under. Yamaha used them on the 1100 Maxim and a few other bikes too.

A lot of Japanese car and truck engines used them. I don't buy in to the magnetism thing unless you really juiced them with a rare earth magnet or something. A small magnet on the end of a wand won't do any harm.
