Default Valve Shims

Where can I get a mixed set of valve shims for a reasonable price?

My cars always sounded 5-cylindery when warm. After getting injectors checked and putting on a completely different pump (rebuilt and 12mm) it actually seems worse. Compression are all a bit low, but between 260-300 on my cheap tester (might not be accurate - just bought it to see any major differences between cylinders).

So, I'm wondering if it's the valves not sealing properly when hot, if some of them are a bit tight on clearance? I did check them several years ago, and they weer in spec, although one was right on the edge of spec. I couldn't find anywhere to get a new one though.
