OK, so any tricks to actually getting the shims out? That's where I'm struggling on my valve job.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Whats the x on shim mean?

Did you find the little cutaway section in the bucket? The bucket rotates around. I slip a very fine screw driver in that cut out and gently lift the shim above the rim of the bucket. I have a pair of long needle nose pliers which I use to pull and jiggle the shim up between the cam and bucket. No magnets,
or so I read somewhere. I think Basscliff site has some pictures and discription. Check it out. If not PM me and I'll take a picture.

Where is info on this zip tie method? I absolutely HATE that little tool. My wife kept coming to the garage door wondering who I was screaming at...
I read that article on BassCliff's site. I know this sounds dumb but..is there no worry about the ziptie getting "snipped" by the valve and leaving a chunk in the cyl?
I had the tool when I had my first '78 1000...greatest thing since sliced bread
My thoughts exactly! I work with (wood) tools everyday. I can gererally master them in time.

I've never lost a bit of zip tie in there and have used the trick dozens of times.
