Subject:f/u Head reseal

TAH- DAH!!!!
All sealed up no leaks no gases in the coolant. Started on the 4th crank
over. and the lifters quiet after about 1/2 hr at temp.  Man, what a pain but
still an easier job
than when I did the head in my son's 95 cavalier.

Two question's, when I adjusted the valves some were by the book (Bentley)
and some were real mushy so I just got them all about the same. How long should
I wait before readjustment and should I limit driving to shot trips no hi-way?
