Depeding on the structual integrity of the rocker shafts and the codec on the block that being "B" or "D" I can assimilate that in theory you have tightened the nuts behond there threshold It 4 oclock in the morning....gimme a break

i tighten them till i felt the rocker had no play ;then i backed it down half a turn;should i have replaced the intake gasket ;it seemed fine ;but im replacing it any way;when you have a head shaved ;should you advance the timing or retard

Re-adjust your valves the right way and check your timing belt. It sounds like it's off a tooth or 5.
