Default Valve Adjustment after replacing LMA's?

Hey guys, I am in the process of replacing my Lost Motion Assemblies and I was wondering will I need to adjust the valves after I replace them?

You should check them, and adjust if necessary.

Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance.

I guess I should qualify what I said before: Removing and reinstalling the cams is what would potentially change the valve clearance, and it's fairly easy to check and adjust the valves while you're in there. The LMAs are just compression devices and aren't on a valve so there is nothing that needs to be adjusted.
