Poll: If you have a Hotcam, did you replace the shims?
As it says, if you installed or had installed an LS1 Hotcam were the shims replaced? I find it hard to believe that the installer that was going to install my cam was going to replace the shims (I decided to install the cam myself anyways). If you didn't use the shims post how many trouble-free miles you have driven.

I installed my Hot Cam on a weekend, and didn't think about having to remove the valve stem seals to replace the shims. Needless to say, valve seals were nowhere to be found on a weekend, so I left the seals and shims alone. I had no issues at all while running the stock shims. About 18,000 miles later, I put the shims in when I freshened-up the bottom end.
