All you need is a common feeler gauge.
Specs from post one:
EX: 0.28 +/- 0.03 mm (0.011 +/- 0.001 in)
IN: 0.15 +/- 0.03 mm (0.006 +/- 0.001 in)
Exhaust is within spec from 0.010 to 0.012"
If a 0.010" won't go, it is too tight.
If a 0.013" will go, it is too loose.
Intake is withing spec from 0.005 to 0.007"
If a 0.005" won't go, it is too tight.
If a 0.008" will go, it is too loose.
I have an ancient Neuses set on a key ring.
It only has nine gauges:
0.015
0.012
0.010
0.008
0.006
0.004
0.003
0.002
0.0015
For the intake,
the 0.002 and 0.003 together will check 0.005"
the 0.003 and 0.004 together will check 0.007
the 0.006 and 0.0015 will check for 7 1/2 thousandths
Due to the Neuses being on loan, when I had my Moto Guzzi, I bought an OEM from AutoZone for $6.99.
Its gauges include 3,4,5,6 &7 thousandths. All are marked in thousandths and in millimeters.
