"measure the gap with a feeler gauge" that's exactly what I did, I measured the gap with
a feeler gauge by laying my square against the
head. I could clearly see the amount of light
shining through the gap. I thought I was being quite clear about what I
meant.
I thought 5mm is the same thing as 5/1000. I
thought mm is 1000. When you say 20/1000 is a lot
, hmm I gap my front mount distributor @ 15 ,side
mount distributor @25, spark plugs @25 , doesn't
seem like a lot to me. I may be wrong, I'm just a
back yard N tractor mechanic. Stan

| Stan, No disrespect intended here, but you need to use a straightedge (machined flat) to measure gaps like you mentioned. A square is not flat enough for precision measuring. Again no disrespect intended. Gerard

Sorry but I misunderstood your explanation of how you measured the gap. If .020 sounds OK to you go for it. The worst that can happen is you will get a chance to do it over again.
