A bit too tight and your engine will spit combustion either into the intake manifold or down your exhaust..
Shouldn't be the problem if you're sure nobody has been dinking around under the valve covers.
Ok cool, no one has messed with the valves, I replaced the gaskets and that's it. How do I find and loosen that valve adjustment? Or is this beyond my expertise, I've done ok so far, I need to learn this stuff. Thanks for the advice, that sounds like it might the issue.
