I just got done adjusting my valves for the first time. I am still worried though that I did not do it right. Is there a way to tell if they are done right. It seems to run great still and seems to have all of the power it did before. I just really want to know that I did it right because I have a 3000 mile drive ahead of me in about a week. Thanks.

You must of done it right or it would not run for shit and be noisy (ie if you started the procedure on #3 instead of #1 or turned the engine over the wrong way during the procedure)
If your that concerned why not go over it again?

Hey Matt,

Keifer is right on the money.
My first time that i adjusted my valves i got all tangled up
in my underwear. The next time i drove, it would backfire and
the valves were loud as hell. Trust me you know when you have adjusted
them wrong.
