I will let others explain why its different, but basically the cam isnt on the base circle for both valves when a given cylinder is at TDC... but for now just trust it is different and readjust everything following the link I posted. Loosen all the nuts & get the engine on #1 TDC compression stroke and adjust the valves shown in the link... engine has to be on TDC of the compression stroke. If youre not sure how to verify compression stroke just ask, its very simple to do. Then you rotate it as described and do the other valves shown.

This is very important, understand it later but readjust correctly before running it any more.
