I guess they were opening just a little. Two things that can cause you to
lose the setting are wear on the part that rides the cam (good idea to lube
the cam a bit) and the adjusting screw not being tight enough. Of course a
decreasing gap will also retard the timing.
As the Brits say... Mind the Gap.
