Put the first cylinder top dead center and take your feeler gauge and see what its sitting at on the feeler. Once ya know what it's at each lifter has a 12mm nut and a flat head center loosen the 12mm and adjust the flat head to where you can slide the feeler out and in smoothly not to tight but not loose.

The exhaust side is .009 to .011 try to get it closer to .009
The intake is .007 to .009 try to get it closer to to .007

Once your done with the first one repeat on each cylinder then run back through and putting each cylinder tdc and make sure your feeler pushs and pulls out smooth.

In anycase search your motor and valve adjustment specs on google to find a spec sheet to help ya out more if needed.

i would have an educated eye there to watch what you are doing, its very easy to mess this up which then becomes a big headache.
