Thanks for the info, i just finished setting them and they sound good.

My feeler guage only has inches on it so i set it to 14 thou.

More like 15 thou but I stand to be corrected. Also, many people believe they should be a little noisey, not quiet. If you have a larger clearance, it will tend to not close up as often or as far.
