[Ducati] 916 valve adjustments

Hello all, it has been a couple of years since I have had the pleasure of
keeping up with the list- I basically mothballed my '95 916 as I had lost my
garage space and had hit the 12k mark and needed to do the service.  I did
the 6k service way back when, but as it has been some years I'm trying to
read up on all the ins and outs of the process.  Of course I've got manuals
and all my old notes, just wondering if there were any great web pages
dedicated to the process?

I'm taking photos and a couple of short videos to put up a page when I'm
done, as amazingly I can't find much info past Chris Kelly's page which is a
bit vague (though still informative).

According to the Haynes manual I have 5 valves out of spec, but if I go with
the tighter factory specs I have more adjustments to make.  Opinions?  I'm
pretty sure I'll be going with the Haynes specs, as the latitude is narrow
enough, and this ain't no race bike.
