240s don't often need the valves adjusted - but when you change the cam, you definitely want to check the clearances and adjust as needed.

The most cost-efficient way is likely to see what adjustments are needed when you install the new cam, and buy the few shims you will need at a dealer. You might end up swapping a few shims around between valves and so reduce the number of shims you need to buy.

Be sure to reinstall the cam bearings (hold-down caps) back into their original locations. I'm told they are factory-matched to the locations so the cam will rotate "true".
