  4. Anybody know the Valve clearance for this little beastie?

    nope

    4 thou inlet, 6 thou exhaust?

    thats my guess...no doubt it comes in whatsit metre things too, but I
    bet you 1 dollar and a stubby that is pretty close

    When in doubt, 0.1mm is usually a pretty good guess. It's always
    better to have them a little too loose than a little too tight, since
    with the former you'll just get a bit of noise but the latter leads to
    burnt valves...
