How many miles on rhe heads? It is normal to experience some valve stem
stretch over the life of the alve however it should be less than .004 overall
for the service life. I've had too many dropped seats and valves over the
years so by 40000 miles I usually now have the heads redone or changed.

Three weeks ago I put on my new stock exhaust and switched out my
valve adjust screws which of course meant adjusting my valves.
It is 1500 miles later and a beautiful day and I had some extra time
so I thought I'd have a look-see to make sure everything seems ok.
Here's what I found: the exhaust valves on 1, 2, and 3 were tighter
than I had set them. I could not get the .006 feeler gauge in. I
could get the .005 in but it certainly didn't slide in easily.
Should I be worried? Is there something I might have done
incorrectly? Should I take some action? (I have loosened the tight
ones already.) What makes valves tighten?
