The A4 is a flathead. The valve stems and springs are accessed via a plate on the manifold side of the block. So no need to remove the head to adjust the valves.

Most engines are installed in tight engine compartments where this job is awkward to do.

I am wondering if you have a copy of the maintenance manual that was produced by Moyer? It is an excellent investment and a nice way to support the hosts of the forum.
