Tape for shims?

I pulled the main caps off an 8N and removed the inserts. Each had a brown strip of tape on the back of each insert. The only thing I could imagine was some type of shim. Ever heard or seen this before. Would post pic if I knew how.
 
I did that once with tin foil on one rod of a Continental 226 engine in a Massey Harris 101 SR.
One was a little loose and I layered the foil till it felt right. Ran my sawmill for years like that.

PS: I was too poor to do the job right.
 
I have never seen tape but I have seen brass shim stock. Very few people know how to do it properly and the rest think it is pure dumb.
 
I just performed "emergency service" with a special tape for fix'n cracks in blacktop. Instead of having a "stream of water filling a compartment, just a drip, the real fix" will be thru UNION LABOR, back in PORT.
