Is it possible for the valve adjustment nut to bottom out? I'm adjusting my valves and it feels like the top nut has bottomed out against the valve stem. The middle nut is loose, and trying to tighten the top one makes the large nut against the spring turn. Is it time to swap my new engine in soon?
