That's about it BUT I would go more than 3mm: maximize that surface area against the aluminum head so it doesn't groove. Try to just clear the diameter of the camshaft.
Awsome! This is so you don’t need to order adjustment shims from Nissan? I’m about to order some s1 Jwt cams for the frontier :) Is there any way you can make a clip on the machining process for the plates?
In Nov 2019 I could have. But in summary: 1)On the lathe make an aluminum spud the same diameter as the washer and a threaded hole to bolt the retaining washer to the spud. 2)bolt the washer in the spud and slide the spud into the chuck until the jaws grab the washer. The spud will keep the washer square as you tighten the chuck. Remove the bolt and machine .0025"-.0030" off the the inner circle. 3)slide spud out of chuck enough to machine outer circle, flip washer, bolt it in and machine .0025"-.0030" off the the outer circle. Flat lap as required to get the desired fit to your cam/head
so on one side the outer 3mm is cut 0.002"
. and the other side from 3mm to the center is cut 0.002"?

@@MY1PATH did you use a stone or a lathe?
@@Lordprimate Lathe, squared against a spud. See other comments for details. Lapping was done on sandpaper.
Hi would you know where I can find the air relief plug (when change the water) on the VG30 engine?
I’m pretty sure there isn’t one, I’ve never bled mine in my 300 either just topped it off
