I checked with Elden Carl when I did the 500 mile service/valve adjust on my A14. He recommended setting the valve clearance to the maximum end of specified clearances. He says they'll continue to close up over the next 3000 or so miles, and recommended I check them at 3000 miles. I set them up this way. It works fine. I have peace of mind knowing that I probably won't have to change shims again until 10,000 or more miles (although I am going to check at 3000).
