You were very fortunate that this simple fix worked.
I had a noisy lifter on my 86GL that ultimately lead to a burnt
valve.  $$$$ for repairs.  Runs good now...wish I had a real mechanic look
into it sooner.  A word to the wise:  A noisy lifter may be telling you
something (whether you want to listen or not.)
