Use the "Rule of 9" on a Spitfire (rule of 13 on a six): check/set #1 when
#8 is open, check/set #2 when #7 is open, etc. You can also use the "go/no
go" method. Assuming that the clearance is to be set at .010", use that
feeler gauge along with .009 and .011; the former should go easily and the
latter should NOT go in between rocker and valve.
