Default my valve clearance .003-.004

just checked my valves yesterday. 2 were .005 the other 2 were a really tight .004 loose .003. my valves have never been adjusted. is it common to be a little to tight after 2 years? I was expecting them to be loose. do any of you guys have a opinion on that clearance. to tight? exceptable?

Yup I agree it would be best to adjust them. Im guessing here but my guess is your tight on the intake side.
