  Sure there is, 2.35mm shims!  ;-D  That's what a lot of head shops seem 
to 
think anyway!  Actually the first few times I did it, I'd never heard of 
anybody 
doing it. Closest I came was a local shop had to do it to a Cadillac engine 
they 
rebuilt that wasn't running right.  I did it simply because then I could 
use up the 
supply of 3.70 to 3.85 shims I have comparatively large amounts of.
