This isnt the correct value for the median exhaust is it? Shouldnt it be .2169 mm?

I've never done the valve adjust myself, but it's been noted in the past that there is a service manual error and that the manual should say:

[c] Specified Valve Clearance (Mean Value=0.215mm
{Exhaust} 0.145mm {Inlet})

I'm just reporting what I've read in the past, but I haven't done any of the math so is .215 close enough to .2169 ???? to say yes to your question?
I don't know. :-\

I've read that there is another error on page 2-25 (?) where #1 and #4 cylinders are switched in the bold Text but not the diagram. That is the diagram is correct
but the bold text to it's left is wrong: #1 should be #4 and vice versa?

The previous page says Ex 0.19-0.24mm  In 0.12-0.17.  The means of the two are 0.215 and 0.145... so there is an error on page 2-27 where is says 0.125 and 0.145.  It appears to be a dyslexia (transposition) error.  This is in my 2010-2012 factory manual, 3rd edition Apr 16, 2011.

Mine is a 2010 manual. Seems they had time to fix it.

The previous page says Ex 0.19-0.24mm  In 0.12-0.17.  The means of the two are 0.215 and 0.145... so there is an error on page 2-27 where is says 0.125 and 0.145.  It appears to be a dyslexia (transposition) error.  This is in my 201-2012 factory manual, 3rd edition Apr 16, 2011.
