Got new valve job, set all the valves to 18 thou. cold with slight resistance on the feeler, did each cylinder in firing order at respecive TDC when setting the valves. Did notice however some seemed looser at a different spot on the cam for some reason, wondering if they expand when hot or tighten up.
