valve adjustment with motor off the bike and doohicky

After a total motor failure (basically, the bike blew a valve through the valve cover), I'm about to install a new (used) motor that I got from a wrecker. He said that they had run it, so I'm hopeful. Two questions:
1. I figure I may as well check the valve clearances while the motor is out if the bike. Seems easier than having to get into all the tight places. I've done the valve adjustment before, but am wondering if there is anything that I would need to do different if the bike isn't mounted in the frame.
2. I know there has been discussion before about figuring out if the doo was done, but I can't find it. How can I tell if the original doohicky was replaced.
Thanks
