mike, it is cheaper to listen to valves than to have themn burn. we
always did this at our dealership and still do on any cars today. if
they are "really" noisy, go back through and recheck clearances. also,
this is based on a stock cam. the .012" will keep the valves from going
tight and burning the edge of the valve. ted
