1 What does it mean that most of my valve clearances are tight Sun Sep 10, 2017 4:25 pm

I'll post gaps in a bit, but is there anything to explain mostly tight clearances in '85 K100 2V?

Put cylinder head on cylinder block and reassembled the buckets, shims, cams, and caps on the head. Now instead of the slightly tight gaps I had before, I have essentially zero gap at any shim. Doesn't seem like anybody who knew what they were doing could put the valve assembly back together wrong (other than maybe lower spring plates upside down?). Is this normal after disassembly of the valves? Any suggestions?
Just to allay any potential concerns: copiously oiled parts during assembly, all the buckets and shims are on the valves they were on before, all the caps are in the same, correct places, slow and careful rotation of each camshaft is possible without particular difficulty or noises.
