There's your problem.  You should've been eating a Moon Pie along 
with the Dr. Pepper.

As someone else already pointed out, setting the valves is like 
revenge, a dish best done or serverd cold.  Unless of course you have 
a warm spec or a non-stock cam, but the .010" spec normally applies 
to a cold stock engine.

Seein' as how your email address sez v6spitfireguy, would you have a 
V6 in your Spitfire?
