cam clearences,
I've replaced an exhaust cam on my 2.1 96sti, and wanted to check the clearences,
I believe 0.2mm is the clearence correct?
But what are the tolerances + or -?

If it's not running hydraulic lifters in the heads then:
Inlets 0.006" ~ 0.008"
Exhausts 0.008 ~ 0.010"

Hi Mick,
Yes it is solid lifters
Is that the clearence or the tolerance and any idea of it in metric?

Thanks guys. So 0.25 for my ex cam is what is needed.
Any ideas on tolerances + or -? Or is there no tolerance?
