Default Valve adjustment question

Do you need any other tools besides the one in the pic, feeler gauges, and a screwdriver?

A magnetic tool bowl is nice. I also prefer to torque the adjustment jam nuts. You also need any tools required to take off the valve cover, including Hondabond to put it back on and not get any leaks!

You need that tool to loosen and hold the jam nuts. To make that tool, can you just use propane to heat it up?? or do u need something hotter. Also, what are the torque specs on the jam nuts?
