inspecting valve clearance?

Easy to do on the SOHC engine and more complicated on the DOHC. The
SOHC all you do is remove valve cover and turn the camshaft to the
correct degree and use a screw driver, a feeler gauge and a 10mm box
wrench. The DOHC engine requires a simple little fixture so shims can
be removed and replaced. Recommended yes. Do you need to do it? I
would do it especially if your going to keep the vehicle for another
20,000 miles or so.
