On page 5.1-5/3 of the factory manual, bottom right, it says: "NOTE The values are always rounded off to the next 0.05 mm."

My adjusting dimension is 63.35mm, and after adding .3mm of gasket the measurement comes out to 63.32.

Do they mean I should always round UP to the next .05mm (63.35), or do they mean I should round to the NEAREST .05mm (63.30)? I suspect that this clarity issue comes from a translation from german.. but maybe not.

I can only add or subtract gaskets in .05mm increments, so I can either leave it at 63.32mm or I can make it 63.37mm. What do I do?
