Valve clearance after valve grinding

Hi.

I had to replace the oil galley O-ring, and while the head was off the engine I had let the valves grinded and lapped,

now after reassembly I found that the valve clearances almost disappeared on every valves.


the question:
what is the usual decrease of the valve clearance after valve grinding?

I have not expected such a big move.

many thanks
