just because i wanted to know in which direction and how much the valve system wears i got two identical sets of gauges with 0.001 mm. increments.
as you can guess they are very fragile as the smallest blade is indeed 0.001 mm. thick, then 0.002, 0.003 etc.
they are however precise enough to spot a trend in the wear pattern and i keep them well oiled to keep the accuracy up and prevent any rust.
are you leaving the coating on the cam lobes or take it off for the purpose of the correct gap measurement and how accurate ( thickness ) is the coating if you leave it on?
