The ones from Tower Hobbies are actually head gaskets but can be used as extra shims but are actually a little too thick to be precise with.

I think Randy Smith may have shims in smaller increments of thickness!

I use pop cans.  They range from .003 to ,005 most of the time and can be cut with a #11 blade..

I used just a Head gasket from tower hobbies on mine and it works great!!! Perfect engine runs with no issues.
