"Do yourself a HUGE favor and set the valves this simple, reliable way:

1. Pull plugs (makes it easier to turn the motor over).

2. Rotate crank with a socket until # 1 intake valve is WIDE open. Adjust # 1 exhaust valve (which is shut).

3. Rotate crank until # 1 exhaust valve is WIDE open. Adjust # 1 intake.

4. Go to the next cylinder and repeat the above.

FJ's suggestion is a great

FJ's suggestion is a great trick of the trade. I've used a jumper button attached to the starter to roll the motor... but wouldnt suggest that. Do yourself a huge favor and get a factory repair manual.
