Default Check valve clearance and adjust valve
May be that it is a dumb question.

I sometimes hear the valves ticking during acceleration so that I think that it is time to check the valve clearance and adjust clearance. I'm running a 239 cui French block with adjustable lifters and a Bubba electronic Chevy distributor.
Most videos and pictures that I saw had the the heads off while adjust valve clearance. Is that necessary when I have a valve index tool. I thick not or what is your opinion?
