We ended up shimming it for now using a method I found that people overseas were using, not my number one choice, but it'll work temporarily, and allow us to be damned sure we get the right pieces the first time.

A set of feeler gauges, and a metal hole punch, find out what size is needed, then find a feeler gauge that will work with one of the shims / guides we had on hand, and stamp out a thin shim from the feeler gauge to insert between the valve stem tip and the lash cap/guide.

Thank you again for the part numbers.
why do you check the clearance @ the valve as opposed to @ the cam lobe?
