Default installing crane 1.7's need advice...

Well guys they havent come in yet, but expect them here tommorrow or tuesday, im going to go get gaskets today ect....

Now far as shimming, do i crank the motor with a breaker bar, and get the valve open or closed for adjustment on checking to see if i need shims? i have a torque wrench, do i just torque them then check for play, even if the crank is at any position?

one more quest, im grinding out the baffle in my valve cover, will it suck oil if i do? if so, i will just save up for some new taller covers....thanx, any help will be great.

btw, pedestal mount's with stock heads thnx...
