Also, it's never a good idea (as mentioned above) to just leave the feeler gauge between the stud and pad and set the lash. You should be sliding it as it's WAY too easy to set too tight of a lash.

Some people wouldn't even notice that the valve is opening as they are tightening it. They think that because thy have the feeler gauge in it the gap won't change. I use the valve lash tool but the way proposed supports failure...

I personally do mine this way:

- Set engine camshaft to base circle for whatever method you want to turn the engine over
- Loosen jam nut on rocker over the valve to be serviced
- Slide feeler gauge in between rocker pad and stud
- Take screwdriver and adjust stud while sliding feeler gauge
- When proper drag is achieved, tighten jam nut
- Recheck valve lash with feeler gauge
- Repeat process as many times as necessary

This is just my way of doing it. I am sure there are a thousand methods. I have tried many methods in almost 5 decades and I guess I am in a "rut" of doing it proper.
