    Default Valve replacement question

    I should have taken better notes when I took these heads apart. I have E7 heads and I'm reassembling them with new seals and valves.
    My question is on each of the intake valves I have a small thin washer looking piece and can't remember where it goes? Do I even need it? It's not clear what its actual purpose is. TIA

    There could be a lash cap on top of the valves, is that what you're referring to ?

    It wasn’t shimming the valve spring seat was it?

    Here are some pictures. The thing I’m asking about is in the middle. I have the seal and spring there for reference.

    That's not a stock piece. Was probably an old style of a cheap valve seal.

    Too small to be a shim.

    It's the same seats that are on my 88 Mclaren. I posted a couple weeks ago with questions about them.
