Oh and as a quick bit of info, to further show you dont know what you're talking about and to help those interested in properly setting up a solid valvetrain in their SR

The factory shims are available in 2.6 - 3.2mm in .02mm increments
All factory guides are "supposed" to be 3.0mm

Tomei "test" shim and guide kit for their solids comes with 2.7 and 2.8mm test sizes, which are generally supposed to be undersized to allow you to shim to the correct valve lash.

Tomei guides are available in 2.6-2.98mm in .02mm increments.

So on the shim side, there is no possible way for the factory shim to be ".10-.20" thicker than what tomei suggests, because tomei themselves list the factory shims for that side of the valvetrain, now yes its possible, and probable for the guide side to be too thick, but if you're doing a solid valvetrain setup, you're doing it right.

My bet is that you yourself screwed this up mike, because you're dumb, and now you're preaching like other people cant shim their own valvetrain, and should bring it to you because someone was dumb enough to bring their unobtanium lifter equipped, titanium valved, custom inconel manifolded, variable nozzle turbine 1350348 HP machine to you, and they should fear solid valvetrain unless genius mike gets out his micrometer and shims a simple set of valve guides and shims.
