Besides the things that Daniel has stated, there are other issues with the
VW that require the valves to need adjustment. The one that comes to mind
is the stretching of the valves. As a safety measure, It might be wise to
take the valves out and measure them for stretch. If the engine was
subjected to overheating, stretching could have taken place. Excessive
stretching leads to valve failure.
Another source for VW books etc is www.donssport.com He is based here in
SE Michigan and is a true VW expert just as Steve at GPASC. As some would
say, give the business to Steve first, because he supports our KR's. Dons
Sport Vehicle Sales specializes in Bugs and buggies.
