Valve clearances

[carsounds_dan]

Hi all,
I've got a load of pictures of when I checked my clearances, if anyone knows if there is a site that will host for free, there is 6 pictures in total.
ALSO I have got one more clearance to do, and I can't get the bloody shim, so I was wondering what's better. I can either have the clearance 0.03mm too big or 0.02 too small but can't find the shim I need to find the middle ground. It's an inlet valve if that helps.
Cheers
dan

Valve clearances from the manual

0.12 - 0.17 (Inlet)
0.16 - 0.21 (Exhaust)

you just need to have it somewhere in that range. It doesn't have to be an exact value. Since the range is 0.05mm then I imagine shims are available in 0.05mm steps, since that ensures you will always be able to select one that puts the valve clearance within range.

I know but I can't find the damn shim that puts it in that lovely middle ground.
