unable to adjust one valve

I have a Mazda fe2.0 engine which I bought recently and the head leaked I pulled the head and cleaned and cleaned valves and installed new guide seals I cleaned valves also I installed new head gskt and when I went to adjust valves I couldn't get enough clearance on one exhaust valve my manual shows clearance is.013 for all valves I didn't measure the valve length wondering if anyone has ever run into this problem I checked the rocker arm and it looks fine any input would be helpful

Look closely at where there rocker arm touches the top of the valve. There is a little rotating ball in there with a flat spot on it. That ball has to be rotated just right so the flat spot is what is touching the valve. Once the ball is positioned right, clearance.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
