G-Grind - How about a K-grind?

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Solid lifters have removable shims that come in several sizes for different 
clearances (like if you're going to a Schrick 272).

I always thought the switching out of these shims to reattain proper clearance 
specs what was considered a "valve job"...is that not the case?
