backside method -- is this right?

Hi everybody,
Starting my first valve adj. I'm using the traditional method (at least for the exhaust valves where I can see what I'm doing!). But I'd like to check with the backside method.

So I'm trying to figure out where you insert the feeler gauge: it's from the bottom (exhaust side) to check the intakes, and vice versa, right? Can anyone confirm that I'm doing it right from the photo below? Taken from underneath the car on cyl. #1 -- trying to check the intake valve for that cylinder.

I think I'm right, but even a 0.020" feeler gauge doesn't go, so either my valves are way too tight, or I'm doing something wrong.



Thanks in advance!
Hugh
