The adjusting shims are only available in .05mm increments. This limits how closely you can match the valves. All your valves are within spec except for #1 exhaust and it's so darn close as to not matter. If you wanted to you could bring it up to .380 by putting in the next thinner shim.

Another factor is you need to use a special bent feeler gauge, straight ones bind going in at the angle required to get between the lobe/shim. Did you use the bent set?

I wish more people would take care of their cars like you do, it would make buying a used car much easier.
