You need to measure your deck height (without shims), and then CC your heads. From that you can figure out your compression ratio. If it is in the range you want, then leave them out. If you want to lower the C.R. then you will need to calculate the thickness of shims required, and if the supplied shims happen to be the right thickness, then use them. Otherwise, buy some cylinder shims that are the correct thickness.
