I'll keep that in mind if any pop up in a junkyard. I have hook tool and pliers so I was able to remove the first two discs which had the lowest clearance and measured them.

The exhaust had about 0.13mm of clearance and the disc was 3.55mm so for that one the next smallest would be 3.35-3.30. For the intake the clearance is essentially 0 and the disc was 3.60mm so the next one for that would also be about 3.40-3.35.

I'm not sure what a good amount to start with would be but I figured something like each disc size ranging from 3.20-3.40. Maybe even two? I also haven't checked the other cylinders with good compression but I assume replacing two shims can't set the clearance off too much for those. I'm not familiar with how much trail and error it will take and don't want to buy too much of your funky metal circle stash. I'll cover shipping as well just PM me.
