You don't need the engine to run to adjust valves, unless of course you have solids and they require valves settings hot and it still doesnt require it be running. If you do one valve at a time you should have no need of having to pull covers off again unless their is another issue. It is always a good idea to presoak valves in oil but not an absolute neccesity.
