Default Valve adjustment

Im about to do my valve adjustment tomorrow and I was wondering if you guys have any advice for me... I already read the manual and know how to do it and have the tools. And correct me if im wrong but the torque specs for the valve screw lock nuts are 14 ft/lbs right? And what exactly is a SLIGHT drag of the feeler gauge? Is there anything in particular is should watch out for?? Thanx

"slight drag" will only be developed with time and practice. the best advice I would offer is to have someone who's done adjustments before come over and assist. the best way to learn the drag on the gauge is have someone set it and then you can feel what it's like and practice on the other valves. it never hurts to have someone with more experience check your work either.
