If all you are doing is replacing the little hushers, just remove the valve adjustment discs and keep track of which valve they go to. Of course you have to remove the cam first. Be sure to clean out the buckets which slip over the valve and remove all the husher pieces before reassembling. Your clearance will not change, don't worry about it, but measure if you like. You are only inserting a rubber shock absorber not modifying the cam or lifter. Do not overtighten the cam bearings -- 14 lbs only.
