A couple of months ago my F got new valves. Got it back and the engine moer of a noisy. Pulled of the valve cover, and cant even get the feeler guage in the rockers. Only one is right and within spec.

Is there anybody out there who can explain how I "set" the valve clearance?
or is changing the shims the only way to go.

Problem is that I can not measure the shims (no micrometer) and being my only transport I can not take out the shims to skim them. That is gonna take to long.

Advice dogs?
