0.006 intake 0.008 exh.
since my smallest feeler gauge is 0.007, i set all my b series vtec cams at 0.007 did that on my mazworx cams and they are fine.

Wouldn't reccomend this. The intake spec is .006 and a 10th, while it may not seem like much, could cause problems. Although I would agree its better to go too loose then too tight. Get a good set of feelers. Will-go-won't-go's are my personal choice. Highly accurate.

where do you see 0.10? .1 is a tenth. .001 is a thou and the leeway is more than that. if the spec is 0.006 and then a tenth would be 0.106
and i didnt say that.
0.007 is fine.

Excuse me for making a mistake in the way I quoted the decimal. My bad. Run your valves to .007 then. I don't know a damn thing.

to do them correctly, yes. 0.006 intake and 0.008 exh.
the reason i do mine like that is, like i said, my feelers which are go no go, start at 0.007.

not meant to flame bro but there is a big frikin difference between 0.1 and 0.001
oh and here is the spec out of the book and you will see that 0.001 is well within the tollerances:
in the book it is actually :
0.006 - 0.007 intake
and
0.007 - 0.008 exhaust
so putting them both at 0.007 is fine

0.007 is fine. </TD></TR></TABLE> could mean one tenth of a thousandth... .0001... .1 is more known as one hundred thousands.. Geesh.
But I have yet to see a feeler gague go that small.
