2 things. First, you will learn a great deal about how to use a feeler guage when you use it. I typically tighen down the screws until I feel a drag, then remove the guage and lock them in position. I had the screw turn a bit when I would lock it, making it a little tighter. Then if doing a .008 clearance I would do the following. I would take the .010 and see if it fit under the valve, if it did that meant I needed to tighten the screw more. If it didn't fit, I would take the .006 and insure there was tons of free play in it. Then I would recheck the .008 and verify that it fit in. Remember to turn the engine over at least one full rotation before re-checking. This will make sure everything was done correctly.
