I have adjusted the valves on a 4 cyl Volvo and a 6 cyl Land cruiser. Both times I did it with the engine running. Do I assume you can't do that on the savage?

You adjust car engines hot when idling because they use hydraulic tappets that are pumped up with oil pressure to get them to work correctly. Most of these sorts of systems are "adjusted" at the center of the rocker pivot and all you are doing is removing all system clatter.
The Savage has pure mechanical tappets, adjusted stone cold at top dead center using an adjuster screw at the outermost moving tip of the rocker arm -- you'd have to be the Flash operating at full hyper speed to do it while it was running.

Neither the Volvo or the 'Cruiser had hydraulic tappets. The method I used was to put the feller in and tighten the adjusting screw until the gauge would not slide. I imagine there would not be enough room to do this on the bike.
