I have found it much easier to whip off the cameshaft after the clearance measurements have been taken. The printed size numbers may not be easily visible so best to have a micrometer handy to measure the thicknesses. If you are lucky you may be able to re-arrange the existing shims to achieve the best possible clearances without buying any new ones. Many Volvo indy shops have used ones lying around and will be happy to trade shims with you. Consider replacing the rubber "cushers" under the lifters while the cam is off.
