It even shows you in the helms manual..........

Place it between the cam lobe and valve, with that particular piston set at TDC.

Do you mean between the cam lobe and the rocker arm?
One side of the rocker arm rides on the cam and the other side pushes down on the top of the valve.

When I personally do a valve adjustment on a sohc, I put the feeler guage between the the rocker arm and the valve(where the adjusting nut is), just because its easier to get to.

Also, to save a little time, you can use this proceedure to adjust the valves.
With #1 at TDC you can adjust all the valves on cyl #1, the intake valves on cyl #2 and the exhaust valves on cyl #3.
Then rotate the crank 360 degrees and line the white mark up again. Now cly #4 is at TDC.
Adjust all the valves on cyl #4 and then intake valves on cyl#3 and exhaust valves on cyl#2.

It speeds things up quite a bit.
Have fun.
