as per the title please gents, i know the clearances (inlet .2mm and ex .25mm) but not the +/- tolerances? as mine are not quite right

I have a UK MY99 with over bucket shims.

Thanks all

It depends how hard you're going to push it.

I would certainly say you want to be within 0.025", or 0.001" in English

Vf28 and appropriate mods (ported headers, inlet manifold spacers, ported heads and inlet manifold, 3 port boost solenoid, 3" exhaust, samco inlet pipe, FMIC and induction filter the oligatory Walbro and PFR7B's) i am hoping for about 340bhp with good drivability in the end, so the engine shouldn't be running that hard i don't think.

I will shim them to within 0.025mm then, cheers R19KET

right then, i need to reshim the lot!!!

where can i get a set of feeler gauges that will measure down to 0.025mm or 0.001" cos that is very tight, but i want to get it right you see!

R19KET

Halfords. It's pretty standard sizes.

well i have a set of gauges which i though were std sizes but they only go to 0.10mm, so need smaller to get correct size.

you can buy feeler gauge steel from "Buck and Hickman" although they are an Engineers outlet really and they wont be open till Monday,but they do go down to .001" or .0254mm.

just had a look on their website and they do actually sell precision feeler gauges, will be looking at them i think, a phone call will be in order just to make sure.
Thanks for all you help, much appreciated

Hi there,
I have a impreza sport 2.0 (non-turbo) my98, what type of valve adjustment do these have?
I have a tapping noise coming from the nearside rockercover and would like to know what im looking at when i remove the cover.
Any help on how to check and adjust would be most grateful.
many thanks
