When i installed my 1.7's a little while back, i knew the instructions said 1 turn, but that was hard for me to determine, since my torque wrench would hit the hood before i could go 3/4 of a turn, i didnt use shims, but may have needed them, i guess it was'nt to far off since i felt, and saw a pretty good gain in performance, and e.t.s and mph, i didnt trap over 100mph until i insatlled my crane rr's, took me a couple hours, and im happy, almost in the 12's with stock heads cam and intake.

if you think it opend your valve then use shims, i doubt you need them unless you have had your heads milled, or machined at one time.
