metric feeler gauge (Read 84 times)

plsully3 YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 10	metric feeler gauge 06/21/14 at 11:56:17 I am trying to find a metric feeler gauge that doesn't jump from .10 to .15 mm. I adjusted my valves to .09, making sure the .10 didn't fit and the .09 did. I'd like to back them up to .11 but I want a set which has .08, .09, .10, .11, .12 and .13. I can't seem to find one. Any ideas about where I can find one?

The specs for the valves on my 2006 are .008 to .13. The set I've got jump from .10 to .15. In inches the gauges jump from .004" (.10 mm) to .005" (.127mm). My valves seem finicky (perhaps a bigger issue lurks in there somewhere) but I've got them at .09 mm and would like to back them up to .11 mm. I'd like to get them where the .12 mm doesn't fit but the .11 mm does on all of the valves. A bit obsessive I know. But I can't find a set of feeler gauges which accommodate my, perhaps unnecessary, need for exactness.

Or is that something not done with feelers over there? No trying to be rude here, just mentioning it. I guess it can be difficult stuffing 3 feelers in that space that is hard to get only 1 in.
