Hi all.  Just about to start putting the Guzzi engine back together, but I can't find a figure for the stack height for the valve springs.  Everything I can find helpfully says "put the correct number of shims under the springs", which isn't so helpful.  

Any help much appreciated!

My manual says the outer  springs should be 35.7-36.0mm high with the valve closed.
