I was very careful to keep all of my gears, sprockets, shims, etc. together when I did my tear-down. Only last night when I re-installed the cams did I notice that the right and left side both had 3 shims each while the reference material calls for four on the right side (1987 3.2)

Is it possible it came from the factory like that? I saw no obvious signs of the engine ever having been opened up before. Has anyone run into this?

I'm now searching for a caliper to borrow, but given the difficulties some have posted about being able to get conclusive, repeatable measurements, I don't want to create an issue where there is none.
