    What is the setup height from spring cup to under the retainer NOW ? If it is 1.950 rigth now and you need 1.900 less height you need to shim to get to 1.900 setup height or a -050 valve locks .less set up height . If you have only 1.900 setup height then you can use a + 050 that give you more set up heigth to get FROM 1.900 TO 1.950
