No.. it will adjust out the same as with stock.
Just be sure you get the LINE on the advancer lined up with the pickup. Just like the book says. If you compare the two side by side, the T line (I think) is in the same spot, but the metal "spikes" are what is off slightly.
Good luck.

you can use a long screwdriver in you spark plug opening to know when you hit tdc. learned this from someone on this site. I took it one step forward. I broke the sparkplug insulater and fit a bushing which holds a dial indicator. Works like a charm.

In theory , the notches on the cams face together or apart based on where you've got the rotor , but the books say not to go by JUST that , as it can sometimes be unreliable for some reason . Besides , it's kinda hard to tell if the notches are EXACLY facing or opposing each other , I tried going by just that once .

I look at the actual cam lobes compared to the valve stems/tappets and go off that.
Gap clearances, 98+ (both engine sizes):
Intake: .004 - .006"
Exhaust: .007 - .009"
It's always listed here too:

Originally posted by rwcreighlol me too!i mean the signal cover.so i can just measure the gap as long as the rockers are not touching the lobes.and i guess you would be unable to tap the starter button to rotate the engine? thanks cp
I would strongly discourage you from using the starter to rotate the engine during a valve adjustment. there are just too many things that might go wrong... It takes just a minute or so to uncover the timing signal cover.

Per Suzuki's manual under section 2.3 periodic maintenance:
Valve clearance (when cold):
In.: 0.10-0.15 mm (0.004-0.006 in.)
Ex.: 0.18-0.23 mm (0.007-0.009 in.)
The units is what threw you off. Don't be afraid to question things; that's how we all grow.
Have fun and take your time!
