That's beginning to sound a bit odd then. Valvetrains don't make that much difference.
If you're using a 12 inch crescent wrench or so, the effort shouldn't increase too much - noticeable, but not excessive.
I know that some builders use beam type torque wrenches to measure the force, but I can't recall what values they aim for as maximum.
As a start you could remove the rocker shaft assembly and see if that changes anything.
