In the text it said shims or butting the end of the valve stem. It also mentioned replacing the hydraulics with solids for weekend racing, not sure how that would work with the cam. It is also very OLD. The article was from a CARS magazine...probably in the 60s, I wonder what type parts he used then and if they are still available.
