Need a feeler guage for tappet adjustment

[driver_guy]

Dear Experts

Where can I get a feeler guage in lahore for following specs
0.25 mm ( 0.0098 inch)
0.30 mm ( 0.0118 inch)
0.7 mm to 1 mm

I think it would look something like in this pic

You can get Feeler gauge from Hyperstar,Metro and Makro Lahore.Price is round about Rs.70.

I checked Hyperstar yesterday but could not find one. I will try Metro.

Did you actually see it there?

I finally got a feeler guage set from a spare parts shop for RS 140.

after opening the pack I found that it has a feeler for 0.30 mm (which i need for exhaust valve) but it does not have a 0.25mm feeler ( which I needed for intake valve) . the closest it has is 0.28mm.

Would it be ok if I use 0.28mm instead of 0.25mm for intake valve ??? Or do I need to search a more accurate feeler guage??

Its for Cuore. These are the values written in its factory manual.
btw ye width koee ziada naheen hay. a lot of cars have valve clearance requirements in range of 0.18 to 0.3 mm

I have seen feeler gauge at all the three stores mention above and purchased myself from Makro Model Town.It has all the values from 0.01mm to 1mm including 0.25mm and 0.28mm.

@driver_guy

If u r still cudnt find required specs then visit Brandreth ROad Lahore that is the Biggest Tool Market in town.

@imranbhatti

Yes, that would be the last resort. Actually I didnt wanna go there cus of traffic in that area :S. But I have to get some legrand circuit breakers for my home which are only available at brandreth road so I will check there anyway

[driver_guy]

Still a question from experts - for the time being, would it be ok to use 0.28mm instead of 0.25mm for intake valve clearance ? the factory manual allows a tolerance of +0.05mm. What could be possible side effects?

[driver_guy]

anyone ?? I need expert suggestion please

[imranbhatti]

Apparently there wudnt any issue since it wud be within recomended value.

u can combine 23 smaller gauges to make total of 0.25 in same gauge

bingo!! well why didn't I think o that :D. it has a 0.1 mm and 0.15 mm. They could be used together.
may be the thin film of oil between the two feelers together could add inaccuracy to 1/100 th mm or something but I think it should be acceptable. What do you say?

The pic states u can use +- .05mm ( so using .28 or .30 instead of .25 ive a-okay)
