P E H
are those numbers right?
a chart i looked at says .0118"=0.3mm, and .0039"=.1mm
if I read this correctly, your exhausts are on the high side, and your intakes are on the low side.

I did mine in mm, which i took as .1mm intake and .3mm exhaust (no turbo)
I also assumed the next size up should be a no-go.

but since I still am running kinda rough, I do wonder if I am wrapping my brain around those clearances correctly...
