I am wondering what position the piston was at when you adjusted the valves. It should be a quarter turn past top dead centre on the power stroke so the lifters are completely clear of the cam lobes.

Hmmm I thought it was a quarter inch pass TDC compression.
But any way this old fart still prefer to do it the old way of adjusting each closed valve when the opposite valve is fully open. I know it takes longer but I have better results and I don't need to hunt TDC compression or find a measuring stick and remove the spark plug.
