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?

30 seconds won't matter....the key is the motor is at ambient temps.....
you may find you have tight valves when cold and its holding valves partly open when hot killing power....if not...you will have a baseline as to when it was done and what its adjusted to. Nothing lost...
Move the car and let it sit 15-30 minutes what heat was generated will dispersethroughout the motor and basicly still be at ambient temp...
