Other than that, I'll be doing it the nines method as well, because it is definitely easy to remember.

That's the method I've always used and it's how I set your valves way back when. My tech at Scoville's said he always set his to .016" or even .014" for a bit more power when he was driving the car instead of his wife. I set mine to .016" cold with the Nines method when I built the motor, so I don't have a back to back comparison power-wise, but they haven't started to make any noise since it was built. My B18 was never quiet for long.
