Alward25 can get you set up on gaskets.
I used to use shims (as you will see in my thread). but have actually started just cutting circles out of old Cometic gaskets I have around to shim with. as I have found them to be pretty darn close. (for example. my motor right now.. has 1 .020" cutout on one side, and 2 .020" cutouts on the other side.. to make everything happy.
but my drums, base gasket stack, and just about everything else is NOT STOCK.
in USMC500's motor it took just one extra cutout per side.

I Will Understand More When I Read The Thread, But I Suspect The Shims Go At The BaSe Of The Drum Valves, Where They Rest In The Cylinder, And Move Them Down To Open Up The Center Valve More?
