Feeler gauges are a generic item. The specs are in millimeters, but you
can translate that to inches.

For Mercedes diesels, stone cold is the way to go; hot adjustment is too
variable since the engine temperature is changing while you're working.
Intake 0.10 mm (0.004") 0.15 mm (0.006") for steady ambient
temperatures below -20 deg.C
(-4 deg.F)
Exhaust 0.30 mm (0.012")

I'm sure it is. Marshall posted a site for manual pages earlier in the
week. The procedure is sure to be there. Job number 05-210.
