Default When installing valves

Do you need to re adjust them again? Want to do this at a high school auto shop class that's only about 45 minutes long and I know the adjust ment itself takes almost an hour.. Any help?

You dont NEED to but you should just to get it running right. I have friends driving around with valves ticking very loud haha but they dont care. 1hr for adjustment is a long time. It takes me like 10min max.

Well how long does the installation of valves take? wow only 10 minutes? Is there a writeup of installation and valve adjustment around?.. another thing what would I "use" or "do" to clean these valves as they are used?

it took me about 40 minutes to put in my new valvetrain. It will be alot easier with the right tools and an extra set of hands. As far as adjusting them 10min definately seems very fast, so props to you. An hours seems a lil long but haste makes waste so take your time and do it right the first time.

in order to replace the valves the head need to be off the car. and in order to adjust the valves the head should be on the car, you may run into a problem there.
