I'm going to check my valve clearances this week using the method on Phil's Vclassics website. Why does it need to be done warm when both the service manual and Haynes specify the same clearance for both warm and cold? Any other tips beside this method? (http://www.vclassics.com/archive/vadjtip.htm)

There seems to be a lot of gunk in there. I plan to wipe it out using a cloth and carb cleaner. OK?

The valve cover is pretty much cemented in place with a blue colored gasket sealant. I'm going to scrape this off and replace the gasket. I have a both a cork and a rubber one from IPD. Is one better than another? I also plan to use the IPD valve cover hold down set for insurance against leaks.

Thanks,

Tom
