The sizes range from .008in/.203mm through .026in/.660mm so just looking at the numbers. Does this mean my set of feeler gauges will not work?
Maybe it's my lack of knowledge on these things but I'm guessing I need a different set of gauges unless someone here can tell me otherwise.
Also are these valves opened by a common tappet? I believe so but the more I get into this the more questions I have....
Much thanks!

The feeler gauges should work for you. I am assuming you have the flat blade type. If you need something thicker just pick any 2 guages that add up to the needed number and slide them in together.
The rocker arm is sort of a "Y" shaped affair. The top of the Y has separate adjusters for each valve. The bottom of the Y is common. You will have 2 exhaust valves with separate adjusters on a common rocker arm. Same applies to the intake valves.
Do take a look at a fiche diagram that Ronayers.com can provide online. It will give you a good view of the entire assembly before you dig into it so there won't be any surprises.
Fiche files have been of immense help to me in the past when I am in unfamiliar territory.
