The second quote is taken from bigpitty1's DIY on adjusting your tappets. Not sure if this is where you were measuring shaun, but maybe it'll help.

In the workshop manual it say to insert in between the rollers and the small cam lob which is the correct way and easiest way, I did mine beween the lifter and valve and mine runs really quiet and have no problems but it is difficult to get the feeler gauge in there.

I did it this way to make sure that both valves had the same clearance.
