Not if the degradation is due to burnt valves. Run them too tight and they will burn. Not having an engine open currently to check your adjustment technique, frankly I don't know if it is valid. I do know that is not going to put you directly on the heel of the cam. You mention your engine was built. When assembled, who adjusted the valves initially? Was it you with the method you have described?
