The ad is false (not that the product doesn't work). You would never have 3 people gap your valves. Since it's all one person, it just matters what their "feel" is. Frankly the biggest hassle was cleaning the valve covers of the old sealant. I think it was Right Stuff and it was a PITA. Oh, and I have a racheting breaker bar in my future. I could just turn the engine over with a 1/2 rachet, but the angle was such with other stuff in the way I couldn't easily use a cheater bar on the rachet - more hassle than it was worth.
