Body Damage is Cool

Just adjusted the valves on a friend's 89 2WD carbie that has pretty clearly seen little to no maintenance over it's lifespan (278k), and all the valves but one were WAY too tight. Is this normal? #2 exhaust was just tight enough so that the cyl had low compression and wouldn't fire at idle.
