well the thing to keep in mind when having a valvejob done on high milage engines is that the bottomend has just as many miles as the topend and if you tighten up the topend it's not at all unusual to end up with a poor running engine due to blowby on the bottom end bad rings and weak bearings. sometimes it's just time to get a new engine
