Not today, but spent most of last weekend checking valve clearances of the '26. It does have adjustable tappets, but what a nasty job. Access is terrible on flathead inline engines, with the manifolds pretty much blocking the view (and fingers) through the narrow access hole. I had thought I might explain the noisy valvetrain, but none were more than a couple thou loose. So it's still noisy.
