Lash caps after cam mod

[Valaas]

Hi,
after street/FA cam mod I need up to 3.63 mm intake shims, which seems difficult to source.
I can get lash caps, but I cannot find any post confirming this is a viable option.
Q1: Lash caps - viable option?
Q2: I measure the top of the valve stem (valves are not out yet, waiting for proper valve tool to arrive) dia to 5,5mm. Can anyone conform this is correct?

No takers I guess. I have ordered lash caps and a valve removal tool and will know in a few days anyway. And will post the result here on the off chance someone needs to reduce clearance beyond available shims capacity

I know of no one to use lash caps, what is street/fa cam mod? Valve stems 5.475- 5.490, valve guide bore is 5.5-5.51. What are your valve clearances, wanna show your work sheet. Is your feeler gauge strait or bent tip.

Aftermarket head? I thought the 2300cc head uses a 25mm shim of different thicknesses...???
