[TR] 3A Rockers with new valve seats

I have seen this question asked on another site about a TR6 which got me to  
thinking (Oh oh).
I had new seats put in my 3A head and the valves ground to them.  This  
pulled the valve down into the chamber more than before as the old valve seats  
had 
receded.  When I set up the rockers I had to move the adjusters down to  meet 
the pushrods a bit more than they were before.  When I set this up I  looked 
at how the rocker sat on the valve stem and it looked OK but I am going  to 
pull the valve cover again and give it closer inspection.  
The reason for the post: Are these "no lead" seats thicker than the  OEM 
seats and has this changed the rocker geomoetry, or is this now returned to  
the 
way it was originally? The amount I had to screw down the adjuster is more  
than I would have imagined from replacing the seats.  
TIA
