Has anyone done a writeup of how to check (not necessarily adjust) valves? I've searched around the forum, and this is the most descriptive I could find.

Thanks to a parts store giving me the wrong size spark plugs, my bike is just sitting here w/o the tank and airbox - waiting until I get the right ones. At the same time, I hear just checking (not adjusting) the valves should be somewhat easy enough. I have a set of standard tools, torque wrench, and a micrometer.

Any references, pointers, etc, would be greatly appreciated!!!

Also: if the valves are out of spec, is it a lot of extra effort or difficult to make the adjustments myself? Pretty generic question w/ lots of variables, I know, but I'm shooting for not putting myself in a position to really F up my '06 S3 or spend more than 3-4 hours on it.
