Haynes valve clearance

#1 PostAuthor: bigalhudson » Wed Apr 11, 2012 6:08 pm

Just been checking the valve clearance on my 1000A1

1999 haynes page 12 states 'valve clearance engine cold 0.002-0.004 inch
(0.05 -1.0 mm) Surely that shoudl be (0.05-0.1 mm)

Could confuse a stupid person. Me included.
