Righto. The distance valve-rocker is smaller than the distance lobe-rocker.
We may have done it differently. It's much harder to get the feeler on the valve, and it probably isn't a nice flat straight surface under there.
Every case is different - I'm happy to stick with what the manual says and have my engine work properly
Edit: there's a chance something happened and one or more of the valve-rocker clearances were too tight. Seems unlikely because Adam checked them quite a few times, but I didn't check them all before re adjusting it lobe-rocker. Either way I'm happy because my engine is okay now
Good to hear you got it sorted... Strange that was the issue, but I guess it comes down to feel, tools etc...
The method that went wrong for you works for me, but then again, I'm old & have done it plenty of times before.
Ah well... guess that was bad advice then lol

All good Adrian. I might give it another go your way at some stage, triple check everything and stay the looser side of the tolerance ranges. There's no doubt the engine was quieter like that, and it felt like it had a little more mid range too. Not worth the possible idle dramas for me at the moment though.
