While on the topic of valve adj.  

Does it make much of a difference doing it hot vs cold?   I've always done it cold, due to the engine being apart at the time of, or not getting into it while the engine is still hot, etc....  But is it worth while intentionally doing it when hot?

I've got an E6 that was last adjusted when cold, and once the engine is warmed up, there is a bit of valvetrain noise...but nothing at all when cold.   Is this telling me the clearances are tighter when adjusting cold?
