Valve stem height

I am still looking for a page out of a 1977 / Kz1000 Kawaski factory repair manual. It is the page that has valve stem height. It tells you that if the valve is a certain height then use such & such size shim. It is for doing valve jobs. It is NOT the valve adjusting chart. If anyone has one it would be very helpful, Thank you!

that is such a great idea and i see you have it for different base circles that just makes it so easy.

I like to tell my valve job dude, the stem height I want. I like my shims on the smaller side. When I have a good valve job and a good motor. My valve clearances, don't change very much at all. I can't find my old chart and it is making me crazy.
