 If you have valves off, shouldn't you go ahead and adjust them?  I'm in the process of adjusting my valves, and on cylinder one, I have two really tight intake valves - 0.02 or more too tight.  If valves are left too tight, they'll burn pretty soon, right?  I'd rather go through the trouble of pulling the cam carriers now than pulling the head later.

Also, is it worth trying to adjust all of the other valves to the max of the acceptable range?  Right now 2 through 4 are all exactly at the min acceptable clearance.  I can't remember the numbers and I'm at work now, so I can't look them up.  I was just going to leave the other valves alone, since they're within spec.

How much do shims cost, anyway?

Thanks,

Edward
