I use 3 gages - 1 the correct size, 1 0.001 under and 1 0.001 over. When it is gaped correctly the correct size will have a consistant drag the under gage will going easily and the over gage will not go in easily.
Cycle through all the valves three times if you can. It really seems to make the adjustment last longer if you do the third cycle.
It is normal to need to back the adjustment off when you are adjusting the values the first time in a long time.
