You need to check and record all clearances, as these are shim adjusters, intake is.25 -.33 mm Exh is .32 -.40 mm if say one inlet measures.20 you need to remove the shim and measure it you then need to purchase a shim of that value -.05mm to get back to the correct clearance of.25mm. Shims are sold in various thickness values, so you need to check all clearances and do all the calculations first so you order the correct shims all at one time.
