If the valves are not adjustable with the adjusters all the way in, then
they either have serious valve seat recession, or too long stems. One
doesn't like to remove material from the stellited tips as you can get into
softer material in the stem that will wear. Sounds like the head may need new
seats or new valves or both.
I suppose you could shim the pedestals, but I hate to do that to cure a
problem. like that.

I have talked to a few people about this and I am still not clear as to
how to go about fixing my problem. I purchased a redone head. Now a few of
the valves are too tight to adjust. Can I use shims all the way across to
raise the rocker assembly? If so where can I get them? Any other tips.
