    valve spring help

    im changing my valve springs on my 5.3 i bought the springs for the cam i have.when i went to set them up the manufacture said the installed ht. should be 1.795 they measured to be.10 thosandths more in these heads , they supplied a 15 thousandths shim the question is will this work? will it make the seat pressure more which is 130lbs at 1.795 in height so pinching it 5 thousandths more should be ok ?or should i get a 10 thousandths shim ????????

    Your seat pressure will be alittle higher, but aslong as your not at coil bind at your cam's max lift it will be fine
