    Valve clearance for a 1997 Fe 501 e

    I read that the valve clearance is supposed to be 0,10mm. I'm not exactly sure what that means? Am I supposed to use the 10mm for the intake and exhaust? Is there a tolerance or is it only 10mm? Thanks for your help.

    95 501 camshaft with auto decomp?

    I currently have a 1995 FE 501. Can I use a 1997 FE 501 camshaft with the auto decompression in the 1995 head? If this is possible, should i disconnect the cable from the kickstarter and let the auto decompression on the cam do it's job? All input is appreciated!

    97 501 timing chain

    While I have it tore down this far is it good to replace the timing chain and cam gear? And what are some good resources for finding such parts or cross overs to something else that will work in it. I have a 2005 fs with a 97 501 motor.
