valve clearance?

Hi

I adjusted all my valves with a 0.06 inches gap since it seems to be within the specs
Can I leave it like this?

My 95 Tracker FSM for "U" code engine (8v) is:

intake cold valve lash = 0.0051 to 0.0067 inch
exhaust cold valve lash = 0.0063 to 0.0075 inch

if you did 0.06 inch, you're way off.

Sorry, conversion mistake.
I meant 0.006 inches.Can I leave it like this?
I did it while the engine was cold.

Thanks

Yes, 0.006 inches is within tolerance for intake but a little tight for exhaust. It's your call if it's running good.
