Tomguy gave you the specs for the valves. The procedure is like any other pre-1980's MB engine - turn the engine to put the heel of the cam lobe against the rocker and turn the adjuster with a 17mm crowfoot. If you get a really stubborn one, you may have to remove the rocker and put a socket on the adjuster.

Sounds like a great car.
