    Where can I find a set of good feeler gauges?

    Gonna adjust my valves once I get my new valve cover, etc. The last time I adjusted someone's valves I had a .010 inch and a .011 inch, used the .010 to tighten, then made sure it was correct by attempting to slide the .011 in and not being able to. After I finished, the car was all but silent, after sounding like a hopped up diesel when it pulled in.

    Problem is, this was at a garage and now I'm at my own garage. Can't find a set that has both of these. Anyone?

      Your best bet is to find some angled feeler gauges. They look like long ones only they have a ~45 degree bend on the end.

      Try Sears.

      "See, we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."
