Re: [DML] Re: Valve adjustment? (In response to DMC Joe and David T)

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Matt - working with feeler gages takes some, er, well - feel.  You 
should be able to slide the blade into the space without forcing it,
yet there should be slight drag.  If there is any doubt, go to the 
next thicker/thinner blade and see if that will fit.  Make sure the
blade is clean.  I like to wipe them with a rag with a little clean
oil on it to help it slide better.  If your blades aren't the exact thicknesses
you need, you can stack them.
