Would agree with Utopia about rubbing down shims manually, though i think when you consider the effort in re-ordering/waiting time/price etc, it's almost inevitable that you'll try it. I done mine a few years ago after changing the cams and brought my closing shims down a few thou as they were a bit tight. Eventually got them turning sweet, as close to zero as you could get but my first attempt left me with two uneven shims even though i though i was rubbing it flat. Second go, i'm sure was as close to as flat as could be done manually but prob as much carefully slow/luck as tecnique. I had my heads on the bench as well as having a few spare shims to play around with which makes it much easier.
