I find myself leaning towards rwdstarlet as these cruise camshafts have been made work elsewhere. Please update us with whatever solution you end up with
I went with solid buckets and under bucket shims for my cruise cams
After collecting the head yesterday, the machine shop told me they couldnt fit the 4age valves as there too long, that the gap between the cam and shim that they need to fill is 4mm and the 4age valves are 2mm to big, all a big disaster really, but im not giving up these cams will be fitted and running, il leave u know
Can't the valves be cut down?

go for solid buckets with shims that fit under the buckets,
use 1 litre yaris buckets, go for the smallest size, then machine your existing shims to fit behind and under, and jobs a goodun

shame your not in the uk really mate, i know of 2 really fantastic race engine builders who thrive on custom stuff, and would have your head sorted in no time,
also i'm pretty certain the shims already fit under the buckets but dont qoute me on that
they dont need to be secured, thats why there underbucket shims,
basicly by the time there shimmed up there wont be enough clearance for the buckets to jump out, or cause any issues, your max rev limit will always be around the 8.5k mark which is more than enough,
Let us know how it all works lad, good to see a working final result.
