As I've read through this and other chat sites, I've not see whether tappet settings are supposed to be in metric or imperial measurements. Searching for the information via Google, one says it should be in inches (eg: .08 inch at the intake). But, in reading the detailed Himalayan engine manual that shows the complete engine disassembly and reassembly instructions, the measurement is metric (eg: .08 mm).
It's pretty clear to me in watching some u-tube videos showing how noisy their Himalayan engines are, that some are likely using the inch measure on their feeler guages. It is incorrect. Hence the noise.
I noticed this discrepancy last week when, following the Tec video for installing the performance cam, that the guy said metric. So did the detailed manual he referenced. The Google reference, or at least the one I read, is wrong.
Something to be mindful of.
