The kits will leave you with a bunch you don't need, and often not enough of the ones you do need. Shims are expensive, even for a Lord!
If you end up needing to adjust, for me the hardest part was wanking around in the limited space with the adjuster. No need to touch it if you don't adjust. Be sure to torque the cams to recheck adjustment. Don't just snug them a bit.
I ended up just removing the adjuster completely, performing the adjustment. then winding the adjuster in and securing it with a zip tie through one of the mounting holes using my ground off Allen wrench adjusting tool.
Then install the adjuster and secure it with the one screw, leaving just enough play to slide the zip tie out. Cut and remove the zip tie, the adjuster will pop out. secure the remaining screw and tighten both. Then I wound the adjuster out a few turns and released it again to reset it.
This may sound clumsy, but I got frustrated with my tool releasing unintentionally.
Don't forget to rotate the crank a few times to check your cam timing.
I had to try a few places locally for shims, had good luck with the Yamasaki dealer.
