Exclamation Valve adjust after head gasket

I have done two 12 valve head gaskets now (same truck) and both times I have had to readjust the valves after a few thousand miles of use. They are always quite tight. After adjusting the truck runs much better. I figure the head gasket is breaking in and compressing a bit more. I have never read anything about this on here and just wonder if this is normal and if others have experienced this at all?

Thanks,
Mark
