the measurements the Op got don't surprise me for not having done them til 48k, the numbers he let them go out the door at do surprise me, why set them outside of the spec range and then you are already in there, why not spend another couple hours to change them again to get them actually correct?
My mechanic friend was intentionally targeting the loose side, knowing they would tighten again over time. They weren't meant/planned to be out of spec, just be on the furthest acceptable on the loose side (instead of center), but a few intakes went slightly over. Not ideal, but he believes it should be fine. Theoretically, it should last longer in-spec. Remember, we had to wait several days to get the shims. We talked about waiting another entire week just to get 2 more that were ever so slightly better, but I was also concerned it wouldn't get finished. The buckets were nearly all identical, so we had nothing else to swap around.
I have yet to find one that hasn't needed atleast 8 of them adjusted, and some of these guys bring them in routinely every 15-20k, some are first timers bringing them @ 20k, 30k or even the most recent was 37k before he finally decided to get them done
Yeah, I am beginning to think
maybe some of those posts about people "needing no adjustment" were shady dealers ripping customers off (charging for a clearance check and not actually doing anything). But who knows.
