There's no measurement. You just balance them till they're the same on both sides.

Better job than doing it yourself

Rollox to letting the garage do it. It's an easy five minute job, maybe ten minutes if you haven't done it before. Vacuum gauge of some description, attach, turn appropriate screws until both gauges read the same. There is a little more to it than that but if your spanner savvy you won't have a problem

Take a look at the link, MSM is ex B#W tec offering a great service and price to the club works out a lot cheaper than buying your own gauges.

Septic, make sure you have valve clearance correct before balancing the throttle bodies.

Septic, make sure you have valve clearance correct before balancing the throttle bodies.

And dont forget to check the throttles are closed and also they are still balanced on part throttle not just idle. Like Atkule says its easy

If you know how.

Make yourself a manometer, take a length of timber 2" or so wide and 2 feet long then get 8 feet of clear tubing and fix the tubing in a U shape on the wood, pour in a small quantity of ATF fluid till the level is about halfway up the timber and you have the most accurate guage possible.
