Sears has a feeler gauge set with the sizes you need, about $8.

tango,
I have been on the board of our local trade school for the past 5 years, Our head mech teacher is a semi retired Merc (Stuttgart) trained mech. He taught me the go/nogo method, he was taught it 40 years ago in Germany. Every year our first year apprentices (about 30 of them) do an exercise where they set the valves on a motor. They then swap motors with each other and using go/nogo determine what they have actually set the gaps to. There are always a few cocky young blokes that think they can do it by 'feel' like their dad showed them. Generally they are the further-est out. If there is a better way, maybe a properly trained person can tell us all about it.

No tango, after setting the valves on my old 300d more than 40 times since 1982, and a dozen or so times on my 1984 300d, I worked that one out my self. What back ground do you have? I see you dont even say what Mercs you have.
