I hope this isn't highjacking, but I'm doing some of the same work, on my 78' 650 and just waiting for a day to pull the cams and find out just what size shims I have in there.

I'm getting some chatter, and none are over 0.010", so all very close to spec clearance. However, a few get no clearance on my smallest feeler gauge, which is 0.08" (spec).

A standard set of gauges goes down to .0015" and a skinny set goes down to .001". Get some better gauges. If you can't get a .0015" under it, you have to install a thinner shim until you get clearance.
