When I put the 60379 heads on my car one of the old school things I did before throwing it all back together was pouring oil onto moving parts and some onto the lifters before I put the lower intake back on. Before I put the valve covers on I poured oil onto the roller rockers. My valvetrain was noisy from the start. I drove it a few miles nice and easy stopping in parking lots making sure there were no leaks. When I got back home I pulled the valve covers again and torqued the rocker bolts to spec. The noise went away gradually. I didn't use any shims whatsoever. This is the cam card to the cam I ran in my last car.


Coincidentally, last night I started tearing down my top end to put these heads back on until I ran into a little snag (forgot to buy a fuel line disconnect tool and A/C line disconnect). I still have the cam, too. It's got some scoring on it, but ran like a mofo when I got rid of the last car so I'm tossing it back in as is lining up the dots w/o degreeing it. Worked fine that way last time. Being that it's just a street car with D/D ability I'm not going radical with this car or engine.
