OK, done. All valves were tight except intake valves #1, #3, and #5 (this is the low comp. pot), they were actually perfect. I adjusted everything to specs but no change. What's next?

Right now it runs smooth and quiet (still misses sometimes), but it needs 1000rpm to stay running once put in "D" or "R" and/or with A/C. Additionally I noticed some blue smoke while decelerating; however, we don't have hills here so I can't do the "downhill-test".
