I was just interested in where I may be directed to find a feeler guage or clearance guage whatever you may call it for my valve adjustment. I have a straight one but the maintenance requires one with a 45 degree bend towards the end of the guage. I am assuming any aotomotive joint will have them but before i waste my time looking figured why not ask. Thanks

A "straight" feeler gauge will work fine. The 2 feelers strips used bend easily since they are so thin. You can buy the gauge at Pep-Boys.

No Pep Boys anywhere around here. Napa, autozone and local car parts sellers. Will they have one of these guages????

I got one at autozone, just be careful, the stupid feeler has 2 sizes on it, one side is .004 the other .006 so just make sure you using the correct side.
