Hi little confused with feeler gauges lol.My tappet settings on the endura e are 0.5 and 0.2mm.on my feeler gauges closest i have is 005 surely that carnt be right?any thoughts

i'd say if 005 is the thinner one, it should be 0.05mm.

i'd look for the 050 and the 020 ones for your set up. check them thickness with a caliper to be sure... (without it under hand can't say sh*t, sorry)

Your gauges are in thou (sands of an inch)?

You 100% there
10 tho is .25 of a mm
20 tho is .50 of a mm

It's very simple to work out but if you not good at stuff like this just go and get some metric ones

Think ive worked it out.0.2 is 0.20 and 0.5 is 0.50 if thats right and if it is my biggest gauge is 0.32 so i would have to put my 0.30 and 0.20 together to make 0.5 i that right lol

rooos

yeah sorry, didn't mean to insult. i've always used the metric ones...
i had no clue there were also the thou ones, (down here don't exist).

often i used old crappy ones with worn numbers. when in doubt, i had to check them with the caliper... that's why i gave you that advice.
but again: sorry for my bullsh*ts...
