Holy valve lash!   No wonder I was seeing bizarre readings on my valve specs. 
 A kind reader reminded me that the exhaust valves should be at .018, NOT 
.012.  I mis-read the specs this time around.  

I did read it correctly the first time we did the valves at .018 the first 
time, so it looks like the exhaust valves are still a little loose, in the 
.020 range, but not anywhere as bad as I thought.

I'll check the Sunday papers for ads for new glasses...

And to paraphrase an old saying, "Measure and re-read a billion times, then 
fix once..."
