Just a small note. Yes do check the valves occasionally. Some of the same model wear in quicker than others. Better safe than sorry. Also to get an accurate gauge reading try the next larger feeler gauge (if .10 than try the .11 or .12. if the correct one fits and the next larger doesn't than you have the right clearance. I have corrected lots of others mistakes and one of the most common is adjusting the valves on overlap, when both valves are slightly open. You discover what appears to be tight valves and adjust them only to start the engine and have it sound terrible. Double check that the valves are at there loosest point before you start adjusting.
