Part of the problem is that the job should be done with the engine cold. If someone drives to my place to get a valve adjustment, the engine will be hot. However, most all the time, valves get tight. If the valves are tight while the engine is hot, surely they will be too tight when cold. If I have to adjust valves on a hot engine, I make them a little on the loose side. I have found this to work quite well, and they work out to be just right when checked cold.
