When I adjusted my valves, I found that I could, with practice, tell by sound and feel if they were adjusted correctly. I could grab the rocker arm and feel how much movement, and listen to the tone of the sound as they tapped together. I would then verify to make sure I could still get the gauge in, and if I tightened down a bit, it was too tight, so it seemed to go OK. Has anyone else used the feel and sound method of valve adjusting?

I use the "feel for the click" method to double check the valves before I put the valve covers back on. I wouldn't trust the sound alone because I think it is possible for the rockers to slide sideways on the shaft some and make a clicking sound that way also.
