valve adjustment on b16a2 question

okay, so i'm going to adjust the valve lash on my b16a2.... 1 of my boys said that i need extra long angled feeler gauges, my other boy said the regular ones i have (short & straight) will work.... who's right?

As long as they're about an average sized finger length (3-4inches) it should be long enough

thanks guys.... and why do i want them on the loose side.... i always thought it would be better to have them on the tighter side of the spec????

Re: valve adjustment on b16a2 question (naTRON)

i use long angled, they are much easier to handle/use. and adjust them to spec. too tight and you will burn a valve, and too loose and you will not be using all your cam's profile.
