That's surprising and great advice, thanks as always. It means I have to set them all, which is fine. How would you go about cleaning all the grime and caked carbon? I figure a little gentle manual scraping followed by a solvent on the inside of the valve cover but NOT on the valves and lifters because the solvent would get into the oil and such... maybe a plastic scrubbie could be used on the valve arms?
