Sounds like three of them need new shims.

Have you looked to see what's in there?

well i havnt double checked but they should be the same ones you and me put on last time we did it. but i need to check to make sure. the valves listed with a clearance of .0015 actually were an even smaller clearance but i didnt have a feeler smaller than .0015 ...when i plugged em into your excel document i just put them in as .01 ... should this suffice?

Yep.

Actually, if you are using INCH measurements, remember that it will divide by 1000 for you, so just enter "1", it will convert it to "0.001" and flag it as a clearance that is too small.
