As for feeler gauges, order the 45* bent feelers since the straight ones don't work so great.
Just make sure it ranges from .008 and up in small increments.
Here's the tools I own and use when I do valve work. I bought mine from amazon.

* For a good valve adjustment, I would suggest that engines cool down at least a minimum 1 hour or more so get accurate results. The time it takes to take apart the valve cover and replace the gasket could be done during this time. I'm OCD over things so I do mine after letting the car sit overnight to cool lol

Just bought some feeler gauges from pep boys for $5.00! They don't have the other tool but I found that on amazon right away. I don't mind people using my stuff but if several of us had the stuff might make it a bit faster. To adjust our valves!
