You'll need a new gauge with thousandths. There are sets with a bend in each feeler made for setting valve clearances.

Yes, you'll need one that reads in thousandths.
Don't feel bad, I made the exact same mistake when I bought one to do my valve clearance with. Just means you'll have to go to the store and drop another $4.

you'll know when you have the right one when the lowest numbers are paper thin...or when they say .00X on 'em
remember...SLIGHT DRAG when feeling! slight drag.
