I second what TxTaoRider said -always check and re-check the valves with a turn of the crankshaft, after you're done setting them. For me they always seemed to get a tad looser the first time -which, since I set them at the maximum gap limit, meant that they went out-of-spec.
My trick was to use one feeler gauge size smaller than the intended, and be a bit sloppy about passing it (not trying to get it super-squeezy-tight or crunched by the tappets). Then they were spot-on for the next bigger gauge size -and, most importantly, remained so after several verification turns.
