I've just discovered that as the valves have been re-cut I have issues with the shimming. Basically the valve is sitting deeper in the head. I need to get the valve stems reground or use two cam box gaskets.... this is not ideal as it will alter the valve timing.
You can replace the shims, you need to obtain a Fiat shim tool, beg, buy, borrow or make.

I was lucky and have spare shims of various sizes which made it cheaper for me.
Already bought one of those, brilliant bit of kit!
