I'd be concerned about possible undesirable dynamics going on. I'm sure 
most of you have seen this video - 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_REQ1PUM0rY&t=96s. They always talk like 
springs are the only thing that matters. I think stiffness, weight and 
the lobe design have something to do with it too.

      <div>Yes. I'm sure that is what's happened here.  The shims are
        too soft.  The golden shims are hardened and probably grade8
        with no stampings or identification. Golden color same as grade
