Tapping louder?

finally had time to finish adjusting valves today but now there even louder. Before adjustment there was a low tapping now it’s very noticeable. I don’t understand? I spun crankshaft till it was on sideways T line, there was play in both intake and exhaust rocker arms maybe a little more play in intake. Adjusted to .004 on both. Only did slight adjustment on intake but when I checked exhaust I couldn’t even get feeler in so I adjusted to .004 and all valves have slight drag on feeler. I’m frustrated should I put exhaust valves back to where feeler won’t fit .004? Someone please help?
