Default feeler gauge

I am going to adjust my valves now but i need to get a feeler gauge. Do I get one of these at the dealer and if so is there a certain one that i need or a certain size? Also what is the price for one of these, and is there any other special tool I have to get from the dealer to adjust the valves?

The angled motion pro feeler gauge that you can get at most dealers would be handy for the exhaust.
Sizes .005" intake and .007" exhaust that's inches not mm.

You can get a set of angled feeler gauges at most any auto parts store. I'm partial to the Motion pro angled feeler gauges however from some dealers. They are smaller and easier to use when getting in the tight spots like the exhuast valves. You'll need a 10mm wrench and a small set of needle nose pliers or a 3mm wrench to adjust the valves. You'll need a 17mm socket or wrench to remove the exhuast covers and a 5mm allen I believe it is to remove the intake cover. If you don't have a manual you can get the CD manual from my website in my signature for free of course. You'll need adobe acrobat reader to view it once downloaded. Thats also free but not on my website.

$3 and change I believe. That gets you 2 sizes. 1 different size on each end. They have various sizes. Most dealers have a motion pro tool rack in their stealerships.
