If there to tight, when it's up to temperature the valve will stay open ever so slightly due to expansion. They need to be within the tolerance stated. If to tight you will loose power if to loose it will be tappy and you will loose power.

Lucky your on the tight end of the scale so you need to take the buckets off and take a small amount off the top to the valve to lower the bucket to give you more clearance. Do it a tiny bit at at time and keep checking it's a long process but it will be right.
