Since it's monsoon day here today in NW CT, I intend to pop off the gas tank, and get a few to-do's off my Speedmaster list, like remove the AI, install some 130 jets, and balance and adjust the carbs, and ventilate the air box.

I'm thinking while I'm at 4,000 miles, and have the tank off, I might better check the valve adjustment, seeing as how others have posted their valve adjustments were way out of whack early in the going.

If you don't mind, a few questions to help me condense some info:

I'll be using an SAE feeler gage, as hopefully I can use a go / no-go method for this low mileage.

What are the comparable SAE to metric numbers I should be looking for?

An unfair / vague question - What are my chances of re-using the valve cover gasket?

Thanks
