I need to sort the tappets out on my 325

Does anyone know what the clearance distances need to be for the tappets?

It is indeed. The M20B25 to give it its full moniker.

awesome

so 0.25m it is.

I best get started as it looks like it might take a while!

I doubt very much that the clearance is 0.25m! 8O

0.25mm sounds fine, 0.25m on the other hand, is way out!
