With a cold engine intake is at 0.10mm and exhaust is at 0.30mm. On my car anyway. There should be a sticker on the left top radiator support frame right above the left headlight. The specs are on the sticker. Hope you have the special wrenches for the valve nuts!
Did not have the special wrenches but, a bent wrench is special enough ... all 6 intakes were within +- 0.01mm and exhaust were almost there; the tightest one was 0.28mm ... and the 'slackiest' one 0.32mm cold as ice ... 3 days not running ... tomorrow no can do since got an all afternoon event for bikers from Central America where I'll be performing diagnostics with my VDST ... for all brands ... More news on Monday when I'll check tank filter and inline filter ... left tank draining ....

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Loose is better than any kind of tight in this case.

How big? GP is HD but I don't know if WSBK is? Hasn't been so far.

Not big, just a 42, but it's fits our family room fine and it dwarfs the 12+ year old Sony that it replaces...

Both are in HD, but it depends on SPEED channel's schedule to air it on their regular vs HD channel. Either way, HD or not, the Moto-GP's videography skills are excellent while WSBK leaves a lot more to be desired.
Well, it's already Sunday here and I'm jetlagged...off to bed!

I think MotoGP cameras are HD but not so with WSBK even though Speed broadcasts in HD and therein is one of the differences. If they don't shoot in HD you won't see the benefit.

Spent most of the day replacing subframe mounts, a tie rod (which I had to make out of a BMW tie rod and the existing tie rod) and front shocks on Gloria's 560SL. Whew! I'm so glad that's over. That car should be done for quite a while. In the last two months it's had a transmission overhaul (in the nick of time too), a new water pump / thermostat, new front brakes (discs and pads) and a new muffler. Retail on all of that equals what she bought it for 8 years ago. Man o' man.
That makes the upcoming bike work seem like cake. ( Am I going to regret saying that or what?
) Laugh now bozo.

I recently did the same thing. I "upgraded" to a 200lbs. Sharp CRT from my 200lbs. Sony Trinitron Wega CRT (Not a typo, it was a Trinitron Wega
) before moving out here and a few days back finally purchased a 40" Samsung LED. I think the bad part was after my wife saw it she goes, "Is it bad I think we should have gone bigger?"
