man its really easy. You just need to lear what a "slight bit of drag" on the feeler gauge actually is. The first couple of times I tried adjusting them after installing my new cam they were loud as **** and sounded like a diesal because I adjusted the valves waaaaaay too loose. The "slight drag" is actually quite a significant drag on the gauge from what I have found out.
