Always add more shims than needed. Assemble the cylinder and use a thick solder off a roll to insert in the injector hole - tighten the head - no need to final torque now - then turn the engine over to allow piston to smash the solder - remove solder and measure the piston to head clearance - then do the math , loosen the head bolts and lift the sleeve and cut off enough shims to obtain correct clearance. Depending on how high your math scores were in school would determine if a second check was necessary :-)
