if i'm not mistaken all 8v engines have the clearance 0.03-0.08mm

Yup, that's exactly correct.

And that's .03-.08 MILLIMETER, not thousandths of an inch.

LoneRider, welcome to the forum.

Just to point out the importance of keeping track of the system used (mm vs. inch), .03mm is the minimum clearance, .003" is the maximum.
It can get real confusing, real quick.

Shameless plug time:
To help with the calculations on shim selection, toss me an e-mail (not a PM) with a request for my spreadsheet.

plenty of info already posted, have a search, it's a common mod
also, for a new question it's better to post a new thread

but with those temeprataures you get up there you might need an oil-inter-cooler
