I also assumed you were asking about how to set the crankshaft/camshaft. That's the hardest part to understand and even it's pretty easy. Operating a feeler gauge takes no brains at all. I'm puzzled as to why so many responded that it does. You're setting a clearance,you want it to be as close to the gauge dimension as possble without being unable to remove it. That why it's called a gauge. How hard is that to figure out? God help you if you ever have to work within a few thousandths or worse, tenths. If you know how to set the crank but not how to operate a feeler gauge maybe you shouldn't even be doing this kind of work. It's like putting the cart way before the horse. The procedure is in the service manual but any car with a similiar setup is adjusted the same way. All you need to know is the clearence spec and whether it's done hot or cold.
