valve adjustment diagram
I don't know if this would help anyone else, but I produced this diagram to help me with valve adjustments. Print this out and check off the valves as you go.

Excellent diagram, completely idiot proof if you ask me. I saved it on my computer for use with my next adjustment.

If you will take one more step it will be foolproof...
Get the single feeler guages the correct metric thickness.... and put red on back end of the one for exhaust...and put a dot of red paint on the engine above each exhaust valve.... |
