Default Valve shims?!?!

So I ordered a complete set of adjusting shims from VWpartsplaceinc. I got 40 shims in the kit, should have all the shims I could ever need I thought. Started to adjust the valves, got all exhaust to spec, started on the intakes, got only #1 done when I ran into the #2. It had no clearance at all. Pulled shim, it was a 3.20 that is the smallest shim in my new kit! Started to panic..... Called VWparts and I got 20 more shims ranging from 3.15 down to 2.90, they also gave me two free shims.. So hopefully I will be back on track to get this car done. I hoping two weeks it will be running ( I need the room in the shop to change a engine in a bus..fun.. then a transmission in a 2000 honda pasport, and 2008 civic...) Get some money to finish the 240! I need to get the proper valve depressor what outfit sells them? ( I'm using a modified KD unit) I will be posting pictures later this week or early next week in a build thread..:
