The simple way to tell would be to torgue the bearing caps up with the crankshaft removed and measure the bores with an inside micrometer or a dial bore gauge. The purpose of the shims is to adjust the oil clearance on a slightly worn bearing by removing a thin layer of shim during an in-the-frame rebuild, same as adjusting rod bearing clearance on Babbit rods.
