SlowHAWK is an unknown quantity at this point

In my manual I have:

Intake 0.16 +/- .03 mm (.006 +/- .001 in.)
Exhaust 0.31 +/- .03 mm (.012 +/- .001 in.)

Sure:

Intake = 0.16mm
Exhaust = 0.31mm

I created a spreadsheet that determines the new shim required based on the old shim size and the measured clearance. Feel free to download it here:
