Well, it's only sort of off topic. If 7 clicks are .015....that's
ABOUT .002 per click. Is this usable in a confined space?? I have a
porsche, and spend 6 hours every 6000 miles adjusting valves. They are at
a clearance of 0.004, so it really has to be done, and almost 1/2 that
time is getting to the adjusters.
