how DO you use a feeler gauge?

[Douglas Frank <frank@zk3.dec.com>]

OK, OK, sounds like a stupid question.  But can anyone
really describe how it's supposed to "feel" when you've got
the valve lash set correctly?  Should the gauge slide in
with very little resistance, noticable friction, or
just-barely-fits-without-buckling?

I and my valves thank you.  (mostly the valves)
