nosir, the valves have not been set.

i do not know enough to do that myself, nor do i have the tools to do it with. my dad said he would help me set them sometime, i guess i could just pull it halfway into the garage and have the valve cover off when he gets home today(in 2 hours)

heres a question: we're in the south and our driveway is a hill, i have to start the car to get it in the garage enough for water(its going to be raining for the next week) to not get into the open engine, will running it for like 30 seconds and pulling it into the garage impact valve adjustments?

i know on the vw it was always said to do them completly cold(not that i ever did those, either...they always died before i had the chance!)is that cold enough?
