I thought the same and will be rechecking tomorrow. The thing is it was so out of spec when I started, intake side was so loose I could fit the 0.014 Inch feeler gauge without any drag whatsoever, and the exhaust side was so tight that I couldn't even get the 0.008 Inch feeler gauge in at all. So very extreme clearance issues on both sides of the engine. Even after I had torqued them down I double checked to ensure proper clearance on both intake and exhaust side. Outside of valve lash clearance, the only thing left that could be the culprit is on the fuel side. Unless, the engine has been damaged from running such an extreme clearance for so long.
