Well, this makes me wonder...I adjusted valves yesterday (only ~500-600 on this top-end rebuild ...been working on the body) and they were all way-out ...like .012 instead of .006. I have all new adjusters, so I didn't worry too much about that. I also noticed more resistance on some strokes than others. Is this something to be concerned about? Thanks!
