I've done that with a couple of shims before and the valve clearences were spot on. Would be interesting to see how long his headgasket lasts though!

For the love of god!

If anyone came to me with engine problems with that done I'd kick them up the road! Set it up and machine it properly, 16t milling machine, as if! Done plenty myself over the years.
