i asked this in another thread and wasn't really satisfied by the one answer i received. since there is intelligent discussion going on here i'll ask you guys.

when doing head work, if you only replace the springs and retainers do you need to re-shim everything or will the stock shims still suffice?

i.e. replacing stock springs and retainers with BC springs and retainers
