Old mechanic's explanation: If they (valves) are tappin', they ain't burning.

It honestly feels about the same. I think it makes a little bit more power but I'm not sure if it isn't just placebo effect. Haven't gotten the opportunity to work it yet. Been raining a lot around here

My valves didn't have much clearance in them if any. They weren't stuck open but it was close. In one of them I slid a .004 in it but I didn't check the rest of them. Now that I'm here typing this I should have checked what all of the other valves were.
