Well... i'll be a monkey's uncle....

I put my engine back together... it runs... my only problem... is the specs... if i remember correctly... i needed .13mm for the Intake and .15 for the Exhaust.... my feeler gauges are either .152 or .127... no 13 or 15.... or did i use the wrong numbers for my stage 2 hotcam??? if i did use the right numbers... are those little differences gonna be a problem???

thanks guys...

Are you talking about the rocker arm to valve clearence. One's .003 to. 005 and the other is. 005 to. 007. Can't remember which is which. Maybe CJM will chime in.

.004 inches intake and .005 inches exhaust, add .001 to each if you want to use hotcams specs.

Your mm numbers are right, but your feeler gauges dont make sense. Normally sets come in complete numbers IE .15, etc.

Your using inch or mm feelers?

They are one in the same... says inches on top and mm's on the bottom...

.152 converted to standard would be 9/10 of a thou of an inch off. basically pull a hair out of your head split it equally three times and one of those peices is how far of it would be.
