Um, shouldn't the intake be .008 and not .08? .08 is a larger gap than .01...or .02... or .018..no? or am I just not understanding my decimals and need to go back to grade school. .008 .009 .010 .011 .012 .013 .014 .015 .016 .017 .018 .019 .020 ...and so on...
after all, we are just trying to tighten up the tolerance by .002...no?
