While you are checking the valve lash, also check the height of the valve stems.
What you want is for them to be approx. equal. If one or more (a almost always exhausts ) are higher than the others its a sign of valve seat erosion due to using unleaded gas.

A further check would be to make sure the the lift from each of the cam lobes is also equal. It is quite common for one or more of the cam lobes to have significant wear, or even to be worn right off.
