no. that just leads to more valvetrain wear.

If they were adjusted properly it should run better. just cause your butt dyno says your slower doesnt mean your slower.

Its a Dseries for crying out loud. its not going to feel fast.

too tight and you'll screw it up. get a repair manual for the car. if they are really loose you may be losing power and gaining noise

Do it, I think we need thread showing the damages of over tightening your valves. Don't forgot to REALLY over tighten them, then hold the engine at 7000rpm afterwards...

Not.

Adjust your valves to speak and put the cover back on. Anything more will only DAMAGE things. Want to make your car faster? Get rid of your D series or boost it.

Chirping 2nd gear is not an indication of power. If you are going to adjust your valves, adjust them to spec. I don't have my Helms handy so I can't tell you want the gap tolerance is.
