    No.

    As I understand it:

    Each bucket number is an indication of size.

    The number printed on the bottom side of the bucket is the tenths, and hundredths place indicating the bucket thickness plus 5.00mm. For example: a "42" bucket is 5.42mm thick.

    So yours would be 5.38mm and 5.35mm. But those would be original measurements before any wear took place.

    The proper process is to measure each on on the vehicle then find how much to add or subtract and replace the ones you need to adjust only.

    Your sig says you have a 2013. Why do you think you need to adjust the valve clearance?
