Will it hurt anything for the valves to be a little bit tight because when i put in the head bolts it pulled the head down like 2 thousands more than it was.

I'm not sure why you think that, but you are 100% wrong.

I'd check them again, but 8/18 is OK as long as they are running out, which they usually do.

if the head went down .002, all you would have to do is re adjust your valve lash and you should be fine.
