The new crossheads will probably wear in some. I'm just curious how soon I should run the overhead again? I expect it to actually loosen a little as they wear in to the valves, or is it negligible? Despite the urge to set them a little on the tighter side, I kept with .014"/.027".

in about 50k miles or so. Might want to also adjust the intake valves to 0.015". This has now been confirmed that it provides better oil flow on the intake valves without loosing any power, etc.
