2005 F250 w/ ~2,000 hours. Unknown maintenance history.
Checked all valve clearances per the service manual. All intake valves are .178-.203 mm (within .17-.23 tolerance). All exhaust valves are .229-.279 mm (all tighter than .31-.37 mm tolerance).
Seems a bit unusual. I've pulled the shims ("adjusting pads") and they measure 2.50-2.59 mm. Anything I should check before ordering new shims and swapping them out?
13 (or 16) pads time $15 is a little rough but better than burning exhaust valves.
