Not sure what his engine specs are, but around 200 psi sounds about right.

Good to hear, it doesn't take much to take away 100 hp.

If you're using copper plugs (like TR6s), the gap can be a challenge to hold.

Pushrod length, springs, plugs..

A shop didn't check pushrod length or gap plugs correctly when I had my blower installed and it caused the valves not to close properly, end result was lack of power, unnecessary pressure on the springs which broke a spring, bent a valve, kissed a piston. No more shops for me.
