Looks good mate. They had to adjust 2 on my car the last time the clearances were done, although for over 120k on the clock I was happy with that!

Not picking fault Gwest but would you not rather have the one inlet and three exhaust shimmed to bring them down as they’re on the limit for tolerance?

The shins are only in 0.04 increments so 0.23 would end up being 0.19 anyway. Take into account temperature, accuracy of the tools etc it’s 6 of one.........

Good news for you there!

Mind me asking where you had that done? A good price on the labour!

That’s a very good price indeed - labour rate looks refreshingly low, I think my indy is £60 which hikes the price a bit.
