For those who haven't done shim and bucket it can be a PITA.
For my CRF's I have chart with existing shim size, measured gap and spec gap. Then I just put in the correct shim per chart, but it doesn't always come out perfect, then you have to remove cam again and re-shim.,
I also never let the cam chain drop off the bottom sprocket, but the cam gears are marked so it shouldn't be a big deal, but I am always very nervous when cams are out, and add extra (sharpie) markings so everything goes back together EXACTLY the way it came out.
