The old Duntov 30/30 cams from those days used to idle about about 500 rpm or so, Brent and you are right about the feeler gauge set being in motion all the time you were using it. Thinking about it, the mental image is worse than the actual event. The other mitigating factor was the valve lift was typically down in the mid to high 0.4xx" range so it was not that big a deal. The oil was a different story — it went everywhere but somehow always found its way to you as you were doing the valve adjustment.
