Ok, I will tackle again tomorrow. I think I am heading in the right direction. My biggest fear still is it won't run when I am done.
Thanks for the help so far.

Wow, that made a difference. THANKS! I measured 0.28mm intake and 0.30mm
exhaust. So that sounds like too loose rather than too tight, on this side at least.
Just follow those tappet adjustment instructions to tighten up?
Thanks,

I cannot slide a 0.15mm feeler gauge under either valve, so I am guessing that they are too tight as Patrick surmised?
*** Either too tight or you might be on the wrong stroke. Mark the lower fan belt pulley across from the arrow (2:00 position) Now rotate the pully clockwise to that point again and see if the valves
are still tight. You want to be in the compression stroke where both valves are closed (you will be able to wiggle the rocker arms).
