I also aim for the tighter side when I do mine

I'm very pleased with the results, my car has never pulled so HARD!

Are you guys using any special feeler gauges or will the ones at local store do? Any special sizes to look for?

You want the angled ones.

Quick question : what unit did you measure this in?

Intake : 0,18 - 0,23 mm
Exhaust : 0,28 - 0,33 mm

Why are you talking about less?

^The tolerances are in mm, .18-.23mm intake, and .28-.33mm exhaust.

I used the $6 ones from autozone, they worked perfectly. But definitly get the angled ones.

You are right! 0.018 would not be measurable :-) I edited my post so there is no confusion.
