The pointy tip on the adjuster isnt real hard,, & on a new engine, will pound down a bit,loosening the valves up,. eventually work hardening,7 needing adjusted less often, Theyre not gonna tighten up. Just not gonna happen, unless an adjustment changes,, & if that happens, it should loosen, not tighten. I no longer have to adjust valves every 5,000 miles,, cuz they dont open up as easily, since the parts have formed themselves & hardened from all the banging, Set them close & listen to them, then pay attention to the sound,, when it gets noisy, go in & play with it.
IDK if after head work & valve adjustment things may settle & change the valves making them tighter,, I just cant think that clearly right now.
