Smart move. That tool makes the job of valve adjustments faster and easier, but more important it means that each valve will wind up with exactly the right clearance.

I'll try that when I change my oil. Even if it doesn't make much of a difference, it won't do any harm.

Rather than 15W40, why not Rotella T6 5W40? They'll perform the same at operating temperature but the 5W will be better when the car is started cold. If oil has any effect on valve noise, both of these should have the same effect at operating temperature.
