Gene, You have had many good responses, but none have commented on the importance of correct valve clearance. (some have even suggested the opposite) You don't seem confident yours are right. Spend a little time there. The proper clearance has an effect on valve TIMING! If the clearance is too much...the valve will start to open later, and will close earlier, therefore it IS important.

Just to eliminate the possibility of sticking valves, lubricate the stems with your favorite magic potion while you are there. George Willer
