Actually for decades...99%  of automobiles were adjusted HOT  and Running!  
per manual!!!


Think of the poor early V W Beetle /Bus owners doing their 1st "tuneup" that 
was described in the "owners Manual" to be performed during each oil 
change.......


The different metal's expansion rates and SOLID lifters required the engine 
be COLD!........so even if adjusted when running..the next morning .... no 
compression!...Try to figure that out after you've driven 100 miles since 
adjusting the valves!!
