Greetings, 
 
          What if when you go  to check the jack clearance by tapping the 
jack toe and the hammer  winks down a little more each time you wink it?  I set 
the  rep lever higher, and gave the jack more clearance under the knuckle,  but 
 now the jack looks and feels too low in the rep lever window (more  than 
1/64") This is my fourth grand regulation.
 
Can a rep lever ever be set too low, even though the hammer winks properly?  
What's with the hammer going lower each time the jack toe is tapped?
