Checking Valve Clearance

[Steve]

So to confirm, if the .09mm doesn't fit and the .04 does fit then I'm good?

As long as those are metric feelers, not INCH feelers, that will work.

Keep in mind, though, that when you enter your clearances into the spreadsheet, you will want to enter actual measurements, so make sure you use the feelers between those two, also.

Be sure to also enter your measurements in the correct row.

Yeah, these are metric feelers. What do I enter for the clearences that are smaller than I can measure?

With Steve's spreadsheet, just enter something between 0 and the smallest you can measure, and it will tell you what shim you need. If it's smaller than 0.03mm it's out of spec and needs a smaller shim anyway.

Since you are using metric, enter .02. If you were using inches, enter 1.

Both of those are smaller than the recommended clearance (and smaller than your thinnest feeler) and will trigger the CHANGE mechanism.

For some reason, entering a zero throws everything off.
