So now I have to take it all apart again and readjust...

Any thoughts or tricks would be appreciated.

If you used the 0015" feeler after ~1/8th turn, that is the right setting. The question is were BOTH valves closed on that cycle? It is every other 360 degrees on the crank, with |T (TDC) lined up in the view port.
