what you describe about the valve setting is normal , as the valve will seat higher in the valve seat and take away the clearance .

Mine were all tight too. After adjustment I had smoother idle and better throttle response. I did see a small increase in milage but barely. My best milage so far was 16.4
I need to change the injectors soon.
