Well I got the valves finally adjusted. It appears that the Crane roller hydraulic lifters don't bleed down very fast therefore make it very difficult to adjust. According to Crane it takes a day to slow bleed them down. After tighting each one down 1/10 turn every few minutes I was able to bleed them down then adjust em. Now that it's running as well as it was before the retorque with no leaks yet (it never leaked at idle) I'll take it out and get on it some and see if it leaks.
