Thanks for all those who responded to my valve question, I was doing some
digging on the net and I came across a web site that sells a valve tappet
adjusting tool like I was describing:

scroll down a little till you see the . " CLIK-ADJUST" It's made for British
cars, but it appears you can use any socket.
They also have an interesting article on why a standard feeler gauge fails to
measure the concave wear point on a typical valve tappet.

I'm going to order one, if it doesn't work out I'll just give it to my Dad
(he's got a '68 MGB GT)
