Are you SURE that each valve was completely closed before you tried to
set its clearance? If the valve was lifted or starting to lift you will
get a LOT more than 0.020" clearance.

BTW the correct clearance for a B18 engine is 0.018". B20s and B30s need
a little more because of different valve stem size and other factors.
