I want to thank everyone for their advice, it helped me hammer it out. I try to follow factory recommended specs, but over the years I have learned that is just a base line really. This little engine is the same way and I was able to figure that out with your help. I ended up at .006 on 2 intake valves and .007 on the remaining 2. 3 exhaust valves were happy at .011 and 1 at .010. Now she sounds like a sewing machine. I did those adjustments cold and I started out at 8-12 then 7-11 and then just trying to get each 1 just right after that. I would venture to say I adjusted the valves 8-9 times before I got it right. And after the 2nd time it was super easy, has to be the easy valve cover I have worked under besides a sbc. Thanks again everyone, and thanks Gnarls for your in depth discussion.
