Check that guys, I checked it again to be sure and with the crank out, (and just before pulling the crank) it is at .018.

On the cam shims, is there only supposed to be one shim used to maintain proper end play? (one on the side opposite the gear) And also is .018 getting too far out of range to where it is not recommended to try and shim it back to spec?

If its not to far gone could I remove the existing shim, remeasure, and install the proper thickness according to the new measurement?
I guess it can vary, but I didnt see a spec on the original shim. Thanks TB
