I thought we discussed this before............

Whether the valves get tighter or looser between adjustments depends on which parts wear the fastest.

If the valve face and seat wears more, they get tighter. If the cam and valve stem wears faster, they get looser. If all the wear is even....then it's a draw.

You can't always predict which way they will go from one interval to another.
