Default Valve clearence check (AJ26)

I was checking valve clearances today on my 1998 AJ26 N/A and was surprised that the exhaust valves are all spot on, but a good number of the inlet valves are too tight. If any were to go out of tolerance I would have expected the exhaust valves to go first. Any thoughts on why I'm seeing what I am?


PS - forgive the typo in the thread title - 'clearence' should be clearance!

Did you make a note of the clearances you measured? Are they a long way out of spec?
