Is there a how-to some where? I used the search button and nothing came up but your post. Is there another website where I can get information on checking the rocker arm clearances?

"An .008 feeler should be a snug fit between the cam base and each of the loose rockers"

Does it matter if I check the clearance on the valve side or the cam side of the rocker arms?

ok I adjusted the first two rockers, the rest were within the specs cam side and valve side. I have another ?, the top inside of the valve cover has a plate with a gasket. I removed the plate and the gasket ripped apart and needs to be replaced. Where could I find that gasket? Checked auto zone and nothing. Also I dont know what problems this could cause or have caused, but the breather port on valve cover towards the front was clogged. Thanks for the help
