...good call Colin. A full width feeler gauge will bridge any gap worn into the rocker surface, and add the wear depth to the feeler, for a larger gap. My solution is to grind down the .016" feeler to a width a little LESS THAN the width of the valve stem (don't forget to deburr). This helps to get an accurate setting.

Cheers
