Carefully remove the broken blade, and use a blade of the same thickness from the set. Consider replacing the set if multiple blades are damaged.
How do I adjust valve clearances with a feeler gauge?
Insert the appropriate feeler gauge between the valve stem and rocker arm, then adjust the valve until the blade slides with slight resistance.
Troubleshooting
Feeler gauge blades are bent.
Carefully straighten the bent blade, or replace the damaged blade with a new one from the set. Be careful when handling the thin blades to avoid further damage.
