check your valves! I highly doubt that they adjusted them for you. It only takes a few min to check them, so just do that and go from there, they may be fine or they may be so far out of whack that you are but miles from bending a valve, which would require you to do everything you just did over again... And because you just replaced everything, you should check you valve twice as often as the new valves seat themselves.
