I understand that, but when you talk about valves being out of adjustment are you referenceing rocker adjustment or something to do with the springs. Please bear with me because I am still learning when it comes to some of the more in depth aspects of engine work.

If the rockers are too tight, the valves will not close completely. This will cause idle problems and poor performance.
