Valve adjustment

[siguy2k]

So i was wanting to know what the valve clearance specs are? I saw in the sticky above that intake is .01 and exhaust is .012 but shouldnt there be a margin? Say .01-.05. Thanks

It says under your hood. There's a sticker. From memory it's -+ .002
Also, .3 mm for the exhaust and .26 mm for the intake.

So is this threads info wrong then?

Just use the next size up

if the gap is supposed to be .012 then adjust to that with resistance and to where .013 will not fit.

He listed MM you are looking at inches.

I know that but on everything else Ive ever worked on there is a low and high measurement. Thats what i was wondering.

Low measurement would be no drag an the .01, or .012.

the real value is plus or minus 0.0008", or .02 mm you will probably not find a feeler gauge this small.

Int. - 0.24mm - 0.28mm (0.009" - 0.011")
Exh. - 0.28mm - 0.32mm (0.010" - 0.0126" / 0.013")

A lot of people say to shoot for the middle of the specified range, Int. @ 0.010" & Exh. @ 0.011". However, I always shoot for the tighter clearance when possible.
