I was playing around with my snail gauge- trying to get my carbs adjusted (dual weber 44 idf). I found that when my carbs are synced and engine is running well- cylinder 1 pulls in slightly more air than the other 3 cylinders. At idle- the snail gauge reads 6 on cyl 2,3,4 and reads 7 on cyl 1. I recently adjusted the valves. I do not know what the numbers were prior to adjusting the valves. Is that an issue and if it is, where to I start looking? Can this be a sign of a tight valve.

FYI info- engine is a 2258, new rebuild with about 100 miles. Car runs great. Engine temps are great.
