.15-.19 mm on the intake side
.17-.21 mm on the exhaust side

I've done it myself before then I had it done at a dealer and I couldn't believe how quiet it was after that. I dunno what they do different.

You want a slight amount of drag when you stick the appropiate feeler gauge in there.....ED9man you were probably going too loose....
