I’d most definately do a valve adjustment. I hope you haven’t been pushing your valvetrain too hard over the past 1300 miles, it’s always good to allow 1000 miles for breakin when you change anything in your valvetrain.
I’d do a valve adjustment now, and then another one 3-5k miles down the road just to make sure everything “took” ok.
yeah go ahead and do a valve adjustment. It would seem logical after installing all the new toys
everytime the cams come out of the head, u have to go and do a valve adjustment. and make sure that u use the correct adjustments that are for ur cams. aftermarket cams require differnt adjustments then stock
