RE: x-15 liner shims
And to address the idea of 'machining, or "shaving' the cylinder head". It should never be done on an ISX.. or red engine for that matter...

besides that,.. there is no way for all those valve seats on a used head with a lot of miles on it to last another million miles any ways... and no way to build the materials back up without multi-million dollar deposition and tooling machinery that only an OEM will use.

.. and building them up with chromium, etc. and re-cutting them (I have seen some places to this) only serves to become a stop-gap measure that only lasts a few years, then its failure city all over again. The compression ratio and other characteristics of these engine is just too high for this kind of old-school nonsense.
