RE: Ben's wonky valve (was RE: [T3])

Okay, pulled them out, they both look normal, not bent or deformed in
any way. Also they were the same length as the rods in the #1 cyl, so I
don't think they're the wrong pushrods. One of them had a scuff mark,
but it didn't look that bad. I went ahead and swapped them with the
pushrods on the #2 with the #1 and did the valves again.

On the #2 cylinder towards the rear of the car (can't remember if its
in/exh) it still won't let me set it. 

Do you have swivel foot adjusters?  If these were installed without shaving
a bit off the rocker arm you may not have enough travel in the adjuster to 
correctly set you valves.  Are the rocker arms bent?
