but bill seems ADDIMENT that its a bad idea... Razz

I have to agree with him. It might just work, but I have this gut feeling it would fail early. The more I think about it the more I don't like it.
I don't like the fact the bucket is sitting 2-3mm higher, I don't like what the bottom shim might be sitting on, I don't like the extra weight you have introduced into the system, you still have the outer shim anyway with that ability to flick out, it'll still cost you plenty to have the lobes ground anyway, the rest of the money getting a normal weld and grind will go towards getting the other machining done to take valvetips off and grinding down shims to fit inside buckets, and in the back of your head is the perpetual doubt that it will fail, BADLY, such that you have to build another head properly, outlaying a second wad of money.
That's a long sentence.
