What holds the shims in place in the buckets on solid lifter engines such as mu XU9?

 

Taken the buckets out to have the head skimmed and some are no longer staying in place.

 

Cheers

Nothing, they just sit in the recess in the spring top cap. With the cam and bucket in place they cannot get out.
