Well, that explains it! (I feel like an idiot.)

John: I respect your point about sticking to the traditional method. But I figured there would be no harm done using the backside method (1) to check if the intakes need any adjustment at all, so that I don't mess with a valve if it's already correctly adjusted; and (2) to confirm, as a backup check, the adjustments that I do make using the traditional method. My goal is not to save time, but rather to avoid having to do it again after I put everything back together.

Thanks all!
