I think the question is...why doesn't Acura/Honda say 65 thousands for the intake and 75 thousands for the exhaust?

what i am tryind to say is, that i am adjusting my valve lash on my itr. The directions in the repair book say to adjust the intake to 0.006" - 0.007" and on the exhaust 0.007" - 0.008". What my question is for example: "should I use 0.006" feeler gauge or should I use the 0.007' feller gauge on the intake side, when i am adjusting the valve lash". AND the same qestion for the exhaust side! MAYBE that is a little clearer!

Your question isn't dumb, your grammar is.

With the lower of the two variances, the lash tool should barely be able to slide below the cam and the the higher value should be a tad easier. Be careful not to crimp the slides or you're screwed.

Crimp what sides? You mean the feelers?

For the .006-7 spec. a .006 feeler gauge should pass between cam and lifter but a .007 gauge should not pass.

For the .007-8 spec. a .007 feeler gauge should pass between cam and lifter but a .008 gauge should not pass.
