Re: "Grinding the tops of the valve stems in lieu of using a 'thinner' shim" 1) This would only work for increasing the clearance required (which would be the most common requirement as the valve recedes into the head from wear, or after one re-conditions the valve faces and seats via lapping/grinding).

Brown temper color came up fast. The valve tips sometimes were ground so the hardness was in doubt. At that time it was fashionable to set the valves in water so just the tip ...

In early DOHC engines, the engine would first be assembled with a default shim of known thickness, then the gap measured.
