You're welcome....but if nobody has messed with the rocker adjustment, I can say with a good deal of certainty.....that is probably not the problem.
You may however have a chunk of carbon build-up, causing a valve to hang open a little. This condition can be detected with a compression gauge, and easily remedied if that proves to be the prob.

It takes patience...
We need more patience....and fewer patients.

Whatever.
