i am replacing my ka's head and the new one i got didnt come with valve buckets. the crappy thing is when i took my old one off i turned it over like an idiot so all the shims fell out. there are four that dont have the holes on the top, i was needing to know where there supposed to go. i figgured at the end of each cam on both the front and back but i'm not certain and i want to make sure. also, i've been greasing everything down with engine assembly lube, is there anything else i need to make sure i do when i put this thing back togather. btw, i'm using my old cams out of the old head, do i need to check the clearence between the shims and the cam?

yes you do need to check the clearances.

what about the ones without holes?

and is there a way to get the chain tensioner loose on the bottom without taking the front cover off? i didnt put a pin in it and now i cant get the upper sprocket on the head.
