Anyone Check Their Valve Clearances?

My finacees Echo has some sludge (bought it used at 287,000km) so I'm not too sure what type of clearance I'll end up finding.

I'd be suprised if the clearance is out of spec high and expect it will be slightly out of spec low. But it might be OK. Many must be.
