The Manual gives these specs:

Intake .008-.010

Exhaust .010-.011

Cold, you should use new feeler gauges because sometimes old ones have kinks in them, also there is a tool you can buy that is like a open ended socket that will let you stick a screw driver in the top of it so you can manipulate the adjustment better.

I have that tool! bought it from amazon, works great, very cheap as well. and by the way, I would suggest using one of those bending torque wrenches.. I used a click style method one time and I kept wondering why is this thing not clicking... one thing you want to avoid is to overtighten those nuts. ask me how i know. lol

Is this the tool that you guys are talking about? Tool

Also, are the lock nuts 10 or 12MM? Would like to order the tool so I'm ready for my upcoming adjustment
