Just watched the video. It is very good actually. Make sure the engine is stone cold when adjusting the valves. You would think that the gaps would close up/get smaller when the engine is hot. But in fact the opposite is true, the gaps get bigger.

It's a pain tightening the lock nut as it invariably turns the adjuster a smidge making the the adjustment too tight. You may need two or three go's on each valve to get it right. Get it so there is slight resistance on the feeler blade when pulling it out.
