valve setting
I just got my headstuds installed and was setting the valves. Following the FSM. I set everything on #1 tdc first. Turned over to #6 tdc and had #3 exhaust valve with the tappet about 1/8in from the valve stem. I turned it over to #1 again and #4 exhaust was the same way. I reset the valves and turned it over. But it was the same thing. It runs but has a miss. And I know something in the valves is not right. Thanks in advance.

Took the rocker arms back off those 2 cylinders and everything looks good. I forgot to mention when I put #3 rocker arm back on I had to back the exhaust off about 2 turns to get it to spec. It just acts like those 2 should be adjusted oposite. I might try setting each individual cylinder on TDC and adjust them that way.
