Has anybody else noticed that the spec of .10 mm (.004") is for 20*C? How many people are adjusting their valves at 68*F? As the temperature increases, the gap is also supposed to increase. According to the FSM, the gap should be .15 mm (.006") at as little as 113*F.

So my point is... if you're at .12 mm at 85*F, you're pretty close. I just wouldn't let it go at less than .10 unless it's too chilly to be under the hood anyway.

Fwiw... the FSM also says, "0.05 mm higher during lasting outside temperatures below -20*C." Is there anybody on the list from northern Nunavut who can share???
