Hey guys, so im in the middle of doing my valve adjustment and ran into a problem.

When I put the feeler guage in between the tappet and the valve pad there is much more clearance on the back of the tappet (rear of the quad) then there is in the front.

Basically in the back of it the clearance is way out (high) but when i go to put it all the way through to check clearance it stops halfway through because the front is way too tight of a clearance.

So where should i be measuring my clearance from? The front where it is way too tight or the back where it is way too much? Its like the tappet is sitting angled on the pad and the front is touching the pad before the back but when it is compressed it is sitting level. Any ideas on what I should do?
