Measuring Blacktop Valve Shims

Hello all, quick question if you don't mind: I'm measuring the valve shims in my blacktop with Dial Indicator, but there is a slight difference of course between dead center of the shim (where there is a little hole) and the sides. I assume you would measure the sides, is that right? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again
Matt

Nevermind common sense prevails haha, but does anyone know where the part numbers for all the blacktop shims can be found?

I also thought i'd should measure the sides but that isnt true. You have tot measure the thickness of the inside with a special device.

Are you just ordering them from the dealer? I'm going to need shims very soon as the engine is about to be back from the machine shop.
