A real beginners mistake this one, I can't  believe with nearly 40yrs engineering experience I actually did this.

I was doing valve clearances, which most you will know for Girlies is .10-.15mm inlet and .15-.2mm exaust. So I basically needed the 10, 15, and 20 feeler gauges.  After the first one being tight, I thought I'm going to ned a shim tool.  After three needing doing I'm thinking WTF!!

Then it dawned, feeler gauge was in thoudands of an inch :BangHead

Dug out themetric ones andall is well, they all are exactly the same as the last time. :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

Bob, try switching to the Swype keyboard, it's really impressive, this from a dyed in the wool DOS man :wink: You can still type with it or switch back in a couple of taps.
