Boris,
odd, I thought this went out this morning.
I've done screens several times: in and out of my K100, into both
copies of my k20, with an extra out and in with my shims. I could
give you a hand in Chicago.
What I recommend you do:
Set it up with a focus target. Run a test and find out how far it is
off in which direction.
Remove the shim (make sure it isn't doubled up), measure it again,
and see how far off it is in which direction.
Measure the thickness of the shim. It should be simple math to
calculate what shim you will need to get the screen adjusted just right.

Hi!
I've just returned from Pentax Israel. They couldn't do it. Not
because they were not capable, but because, as they said, the
procedure would mean "playing" and lots of time spent. The
technician suggested that I do it myself, because, he said, no one
would take full responsibility for their actions should they damage
the camera in any way. He offered to install the original screen
back free of charge (of course) if I fail to win the shim game. I
don't hold anything against Pentax Israel, and if fact I might have
expected such a reply - it makes certain sense to me.
Now, if anyone who is coming to Chicago did this or if anyone would
be willing to help me by explaining the process, I'd be most grateful.
In principle, I would like to come to Chicago with proper screen and
A 50/1.2 lens for general shooting. At very worst, I could postpone
the shim installation until I actually arrive there should anyone
would be willing to lend me a hand.
*sigh*
Any help appreciated in advance.
Boris
