I adjusted the valves as best I could. I didn't have the neat feeler guage, so I cobbed my own and got pretty close. If anything, I'm a little loose on the clearances, which is safe. I didn't get to the compression check .. I deserve a break tonight! The interesting thing is I found no tight valves, a few loose, and the car runs a quite a bit better. Could I have a stuck valve? I did clean some baked on crud from the inside of valve covers. Is there something I can pour in the oil or gas to test that theory? I'm still going to do the compression check.
Leon, as much as I'd like to rebuild my engine myself, I have a race car that needs more attention. I just don't have the time to do both.
