Exclamation Valve Adjustments

I noticed a difference in clearances mentioned in the Mercedes Maintenance Manual and ever other manual I have.

In the theirs.
They say that with a cold engine the clearance can be .1 mm for the intake and .2mm for the exhaust.

In the Clymer's & Haynes it says .08mm .18mm.

Is this because the latter manuals are making and exceoption for wear on the Camshaft and Rockers?

I think the Clymer's is a misprint and they mean .08 and .18. I would go with the MB spec.

Rocker/cam wear are why you adjust the valve lash.
The specs. on your car should be int-.004", exh.- .008"
[ .1mm, .2mm]

Oops typo on my part :-( I meant .08 and .18.. durr...

So why do you think that Clymer and Haynes would both say smaller values than the Mercedes manual?
