It's not on the immediate to-do list, but it's on the list. I'm gonna shim, as well as shift the whole thing to the side.

Your main concern should be alignment over the valve and .025 should be as tight as you want to go.Oil still needs to flow.

Your right Cuda..... .025 is wore out. Factory specs is .003-.012. The service limit is .025 but I could not imagine how noisey that would be. Mine was at .012 and I shimmed them down to .003. Made a huge change in the amount of noise. No more clatter.
