Sorry. I know it's probably a dumb question but what purpose do lash caps serve?

Thanks,

Protect the valve stem.

Can be used to correct valve train geometry issues.

This from http://www.geneberg.com/cat.php?name=Valve Lash Caps&cPath=189

Lash caps are used to protect stainless steel and titanium valve stems and provide a larger surface for ratio rocker arms to ride on. An absolute must on high performance engines that use high ratio rocker arms (furnished with GB 411) to give a larger area for the rocker pad to contact. Excellent to repair damaged stock valve stems. Extremely high quality and fit. We identify our lash caps by overall length and with or without OD markings. Made in the USA.

A lash cap will add weight.
