It's my routine. Always has been. Doing it someone else's way may work fine. Never said it was wrong. I don't typically open the engine up at the track. This is shop maintenance. Once a fresh engine has settled down, I don't do it every week. Warm it up, throw a light on it to make sure nothing has moved. Check the trans. Run the valves. Look everything over. I can do the valves in a few minutes if nothing's out of whack. Upside? IDK. Taking care of all this at once. No fudge factors to forget.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
