Hello, I hope everyone is having a great Friday!

I am in the middle of a 2007 CRF250R build. I bought it in pieces with a bad crank. I am in the head and just noticed the exhaust valve shims are missing. I don't have a complete shim kit to start trial and error testing. Any of you have any advise about tips or tricks? I guess, now that I put it in writing, looks like I will be buying the complete shim kit!!

Anyways, good to meet y'all and thanks for any help!!

Willi

Put in the smallest shim to get a baseline gap to start with.
