Is there any workaround or is there a DIY hydraulic compensator measuring tool?

I need to gird my loins for this sort of activity, and since the blasted shims are $15 each, I don't feel the need to spend $70 for what appears to be a simple ( if well made) tool that probably doesn't need to be THAT precise (since the compensator , well,.... compensates).

I've never seen the engine - but if you post or send me a picture / schematic I'll see what I can do.

^^basically just a very fancy single purpose depth gauge. In use on the M116/M117 the rocker arm is removed first, before this is used.

Anyone have one that could share the critical dimensions?
