Thanks everyone for your tips and answers so far. I went ahead and adjusted the valves today. I have a chilton manual and it listed .004 thousanths for intake .012 for exhaust. I found 2 valves loose and the rest tight by .002 to .005. I have not had it on the highway yet to see the difference. The valve adjustment took me 4 hours, I used a 9/16 tappet wrench for the bottom nut and a 14mm combo wrench for the top. Except for the 9th valve from the fron it was a piece of cake. Ill get a 14mm tappet wrench for the next time. I love how the hood opens 90 degrees.
