valve clearances
Would incorrect valve clearances cause problems with idling, i.e. high idling? My simple logic would suggest this perhaps

Dont think so. It normally just causes a tapping noise. Have you checked your idle control valve? If not, remove, turn ignition on and the valve
should fully retract and then settle back into position.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

if adjusted so the valves never close, you will get poor compression so poor running.

If the valve clearances are too tight you will have problems getting the engine to idle , high fuel consumption and lack of power .Not a too fast
idle. Over advanced ignition timing or a badly adjusted carb/throttle body would be the first things to check although correct valve clearances are
important
