valve adjustment

82 xj550
I need to adjust the valves the following, is what I have found out:
I shim E shim
1 .38mm 280 .75mm 265
2 1.02mm 270 1.27mm 265
3 1.27mm 265 1.27mm 260
4 .38mm 275 .50mm ?
I forgot to write down the last one last night (before I reassembled it )
what are the correct shims to use?

If it is tight, then use a smaller (lower number) shim?
As the valve seats wear, the clearence is reduced, thus the shim must be changed to a smaller shim to maintain the clearence?

I did read the link http://www.xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=14827.html
but still am not sure and don't want to screw things up. I still need help thanks

 

Are your decimal points in the correct place for cylenders #2 and #3?

By looking at your numbers, is it possible you guaged #2 and #3 with the cam in the wrong position?

Something just doesn't look right to me.
