Yes.
For the 650, at least, the caps are numbered and the manual states that they should not be installed in any other position since the machining process is done with them in place and they align as a true bore in that position.
He's right, keep them with the head.

You'll see them marked as 270, 265, 260, 255, 250, etc. If you mic them, they are 2.650 mm, 2.500 mm, 2.450 mm, etc.
There are different diameters as I recall (somebody will correct me if I'm wrong) so order for your engine and you'll be fine. So far I've ordered my shims through Z1 Enterprises. Often a few shims can be shuffled around and then just the ones needed have to be ordered.
