    Even if your valves ARE in spec, and you take things apart to lap the valves and seats, you can end up out of spec. So, you may as well just put your shims back in, run for a bit 50-100 mi maybe— then let it cool down for overnight then check and adjust.

    Valve cover - the chain does run close to the cover.... a little looseness to the chain can cause the chain to rub the cover a bit. You can adjust the tension via the cam chain tensioner.
