Hello, was checking compression and its 133 on every cylinder except #2. #2 was at 115. So, I decided to back off the intake valve a bit and it went up to 130. Is this bad to do. an 8 thousandths feeler will fit. Leave it or adjust it tighter?

I believe .006 is "normal".... At .008 its going to start getting a little noisy....
