As my engine could have been rebuilt in the 90s I will replace the little end bolts as well as the big end bolts thanks Ruairidh. I am assuming from the replies that the shims may not be a bad thing and as the rebuild was some time ago and I am in Australia where there is a lot of American cars of this era, it is likely to have been a practice at that time, also the shims are on all caps so they look like they are meant to be there.
Cheers
