Repeat the job in a few thousand miles -- when they are tight, carbon builds up on the valve stems, and gives you a false setting. As the carbon wears off with the added clearance, they go tight again and still don't seal. If they go tight in a few thousand miles, set them at bit loose

After five years the dealer is going to tell you to bugger off. You might want to talk to your insurance company and see if they'll make the inquiry. It carries far more weight coming from them. Otherwise, I would chalk it up to experience and buy an OE seal and have a glass company RR it.
