Is it the cams, worn keepers, or worn retainers? I ask cause some of mines came up further and made the shims set below the retainers and the rocker catch on the retainers. I thought it was worn keepers and got new ones but it still does the same thing on some.

KTM shims are 10mm and exact size of Nissan shims.

Some Vrod shims are 9.4mm. They still work fine.

The shim it self is not the problem. Incorrect shim clearances are.
