I'm going to attempt to adjust my valves, the Haynes manual is telling me to get "feeler gauges" to measure the gap. Where do i get theese from?

It looks like really thin metal Popsikle sticks.
the #'s given to you in the book/manual must be labled on the metal... for example "0.28"
look in any automotive store...
They normally sell the feeler guages in a swiss army knife type setup which includes other things like a spark plug gapping tool.

just like mike said ! it's sold just similar like an army knife ! you don't have to get it from an auto store , any tools store ( without the gapping tool ! ) :)

Chrome,

The best thing to get is a "Go No Go" feller gauge set. It is a little more money than the standard feller gauge set (about $6), but worth it. In that set there is a .005-.007 and a .010-.012 which are the two you need for our cars. This type of feeler gauge is easier to use to get the right clearance and is what the Honda shops in my area use.
