340 xhead spring shimming, height and pocket question(s)

Thanks for chiming, I understand the coil bind, but confused with how shimming increases installed height? Shims lower it correct? Or are you talking the combination of taller retainers and shims?

I am talking about the combination of taller retainers or keepers and shims to get you to the correct 1.700 installed height. Being that you said the heights now varied from 1.650 to 1.660 a .050 taller keeper would put you over the 1.700 installed height and you will just need to shim it a bit.
