Turbo valve adjust - go-no-go method?
Hi, is the go-no-go aka backside cam lobe method appropriate for the 3.3 or 3.6 turbo engine?

... and if so, do we still use the same 2.5 thou and 3 thou gauges as listed in that article? It seems a much simpler way of testing tolerances than trying to get a dial gauge on there or fiddling around dragging gauges under the rocker post.
With my engine as stripped as it can be whilst still being mounted in the car, I thought it would be a good opportunity to check valve/rocker clearances at the ~75k miles it now has on it.

Yes, this is the method I use.
Factory manual says:
Valve clearance with the engine cold:
Intake 0.1 mm
Exhaust 0.1 mm
0.1mm = 0.004"
use the same 2.5 thou and 3 thou gauges as listed in that article
once your 1st adjustment is done using go - no-go. check with a dial gauge to make sure you got it "Right"
