With all the notes I collected from previous threads, thanks org. did the valve clearance check today.
Front cylinder IN = 0.11 & 0.09
Front cylinder EX = 0.25 & 0.22

Rear cylinder IN = 0.12 & 0.11
Rear cylinder EX = 0.21 & 0.23

Now, Haynes says IN should be 0.1 to 0.2 EX should be 0.2 to 0.3

So, as you can see only front IN at 0.09 is just out therefore, since I don't have the tools or experience to do the re-shim, would you take it to a dealer for 0.01mm ???
Checked & re-checked all of the measurements, on the 0.09mm valve, 0.1mm would not go in but 0.09 went in not loose but easy, so I am thinking is actually 0.095mm or so, if you could measure to that level.

Should I pay out or wait a while what to the org think???
