The valve spring assembly and collar do not spin when I do the adjustment. That part is fine and dandy. It's after the adjustment is finished and the lock nut is tight that I have the problem. I use the nuts to rotate the nuts, spring, and collar (the valve itself does not turn) and the gap changes as described above. I have the wrenches and know about holding the collar steady when adjusting.
Thanks,
