That's normal -- bet you just didn't notice the shift before.

It's very possible that the head gasket you took off was .050" thick if the head was ever off before, because many suppliers stock that one for both the E and F motors. If you installed the correct .030" gasket and just bolted the rocker assembly back on without adjusting the valves, you've reduced the valve lash by .020" and now have some valves that are not closing.
