It should be done anyway to check that they're all within spec after lapping the valves back in etc, but it's critical to do so if you can't guarantee that you refitted all the valves, shims, and buckets back into their original positions in the head (or if you used a different camshaft to what was originally fitted) as XUD's don't use hydraulic lifters.
You'll need a set of feeler guages to do the job which are only a few quid.
No i didnt check the valve clearances tbh didnt no i had to im new to all this never been inside an engine before, all the valves went back in there original holes the original cam was used etc,
So what do i need to to check the clearance between the cam and the covers at the top of the valve?
