When you figure out which is valve closed (gap open), set it to 0.001-0.002" I find that this is 1/8th turn from gentle full close to no gap. Cap it up and repeat on the intake... done. This gap just barely feels perceptible by hand on the rocker. Perfect.

Yes. They were tight. I did the 1/8th on both. Took lots of photos but of course, I also have it not fully re-assembled. I want to also change the oil and then reinstall the skid plate and re-zip-tie my hour meter on my spark plug boot. Then I'll fire it up and see how different it performs, if I notice anything.
In the meantime I took a ton of photos, I might make a separate post on it one day.
