.......are shite :evil:
Last weekend I sorted the valve shims on my TRX. I've got a couple of sets of Metric feeler gauges and noticedone set would push under the can quite snuggy while the other set wouldn't. I put a Micrometer on the expensive set and they were fine. When I miked the cheap set, they were miles out. Makes me wonder how clearances I've feked up in the past :?

Gapping :shock: You'd need half a pack of Rizlas for that :o that's what the cardboard of a fag packet is for ;)

The rizla is for finding the moment the points open up. The packet is doubled up to measure plug gap.

Cheers, Richard.
