I've been looking around for clearances for my 426ex, stage 2 hotcam and have found I should be using .004 for the intake, and .005 for the exhaust, does this sound right? My feeler guages are in mm and they start at .008 and the next one after that is .010, I think anyway, the one I'm calling .008 says exactly this:

.008
.203
mm

so I'm not really sure how to read it. Also if the clearances I looked up ( .004/.005 ) were in inches, .004 would be .1016mm and even then I don't have a .101mm?

This is the feeler guage set I have http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/43/-/171/989/-/-/115707/Bike-Master-Tappet-Feeler-Gauge-Set-12-Blade-Combination
