I think you have probably made a typo on the dimension, .025 is less that 1/32" by .007".
You can measure it in any system you want, let's stick to thousandths for the US market though.
If I recall correctly the OEM should have .012" to .016" (.30 to .40 mm) gap.
After market ones should be as the maker says I guess.
I am using feeler gauges to measure, and yes it is .0025, and I agree that it is too close. And I believe Eurocharged quotes the factory spec for this gap, I will try to verify that with them tomorrow, which brings me back to my original inquiry about needing to find shims for the S/C pulley.
Thanks to both onehundred80 and RedDog for the assistance on this!
