valve spring retainer / adjuster screw

Just wondering what can cause the tappets to come out of tune.

As you all know I adjusted them last week. I took it apart today to recondition the 12 non adjustable tappets. Out of curiosity I measured the clearances again and noticed they were way out! I could fit a 0.160mm into the intake side (suppose to be 0.10mm!!).

So I'm thinking either the plastic sh*t on the adjuster screw or the valve spring retainer (collet).

What are your thoughts?
