Hah - no! The thread was started by someone else, 8 years ago. I had a question on the same topic, but about a bike that I bought half a year ago. I'm keeping it in the same thread because I had a question about something that was posted in this thread 8 years ago.

That's the main thing, You don't want to be riding having second thoughts on whether or not you did it right. Take ownership. Trust me, there's always going to be a better way, a more precise way that is more efficient, effective, you name it. In understanding valve shims you'll determine the best way to approach this.

It's the nature of the beast very much so when it comes to things that may propel you from here to there.
