Drew,
This comment confused me a little. Are you just implying that aircraft have less tolerance to a minor variance than autos? Just wondering.

and not only that, every screw, nut, and bolt has a torque spec on it for aircraft. Even though a torque spec is listed for our trucks I normaly just use German torque standards, goodentite

I just did my truck and man was it off. The exhaust valves were worse than the intakes. It is much quieter now.

Glad to here you went for it Bob... how was it for you? One question I dont recall seeing an answer to is if you do the adjustment hot or cold...?

Are the gaps the same?

Cold. It'sin the first post
The manual says under 100 degress. The reason is that the valves and pushrods expand more than the block when it gets hot and the gap will actually close up.

Bob, did you re-use the valve cover gasket? I'd assume you could as long as it's not damaged...
