Valve Spring inserts

Re: the bronze valve spring shim question.

When I did the valve stem seals on my 345 I noticed something under my
exhaust valves.  I thought it was a thick shim.  No.  It turns out to be a
ball bearing, I guess so the valve can rotate????

What say you Eldon.  Please respond to steve.stegmann@domain.elided

I'm getting behind in Digests again.
