So when I changed out my heads I set my valves to .006" per Bob's
instructions.  Now about a month later I felt it was enough time to go
ahead and final adjust them.  I got it hot, popped the covers, set it
for TDC #1 losened the locknuts, fingered the adjusters to contact, then
screwed them in 1/3-1/2 a turn each.  Tightened the locknuts, and
repeated all around.  Put the covers on and let it sit for about 20
minutes.  Started it up and it ran REALLY rough (barely held idle).
After a little while it got a bit better.  Took it out for a spin, and
now the engine is quiet as a ghost (a far cry from before adjustment).
The idle seemed to be improving, but is still a bit rougher than
before.  Is this normal as the lifters self-adjust?  Did I do them too
tight?  If so is it likely to be a serious problem?  Everything has gone
so smooth on this overhaul, I would hate to screw it up with a little
final adjustment like this.  BTW:  Stupid me, I forgot to take a comp.
check before adjustment.
