Hey folks...

Am in the process of putting my truck back together, 93 4x4 22RE. I bought a remanufactured head from a local shop (new cam, valves, valve springs, etc), new Toyota head gasket & head bolts. I put the head back on last night, torqued everything down. I re-used the old rockers because they didn't look all that bad. I went to start re-adjusting the valves and with the engine at TDC on #1, the exhaust valve was loose but intake was tight. So I loosened the lash adjuster on the intake side, and had to back the adjuster just about all the way out just for the intake valve to close.

The head is a fresh rebuild (off the shelf). What could cause this? IT seemed like I had to back the adjuster ALL the way out. Is this not a big deal?

Looking for your ideas!! I really don't want to put the intake and exhaust manifolds back on if I might have to pull the head off again.
