I'm not sure if anybody can tell you this for your engine. when I did mine several years ago, I bought a kit that included the tools and an assortment of shims. As it turned out the shims in my car averaged a little thicker than the shims in the kit. I was able to carefully swap them around to be able to use them but I had to set my clearances at the larger size of the allowable range. When finished I passed my tools on to another SHO owner.
Depending on your mileage you may not have to change any shims. Also, people have just turned their shims over and been able to reuse them.
