Are you adjusting the tappets in the right sequence?

No.1 exhaust valve fully open - adjust No.3 inlet and No.4 exhaust.
No.3 exhaust valve fully open - adjust No.4 inlet and No.2 exhaust.
No.4 exhaust valve fully open - adjust No.2 inlet and No.1 exhaust.
No.2 exhaust valve fully open - adjust No.1 inlet and No.3 exhaust.

You probably already know but cylinder 1 is at the gearbox. When the valve is fully open, the rocker arm for that valve will be at its lowest point.

Check the cam spec sheet for the valve clearances as I don't they'll be the same as standard.
