Seems I remember something about them being there to put some slight tension
on the rocker shaft so that the assembly won't have too much looseness and
endplay - or something such as that. I DO know that they ARE supposed to be
there.

What is the purpose of the two shims that are fitted under the two
center rocker pedestals?
My Haynes manual says, "Note the shims fitted under the two centre
rocker brackets on later engines. These shims, 0.005 in thick, should
be fitted to early engines also, when reassembling."
If I lay a rocker assembly on the head it appears to lay flat. There
must be something I'm missing here.
