Thanks all for the advice.
Sorry to not reply earlier, but couldn't get back online in NC. Thankfully, I'm back in Vermont --it hell out there. My advice from this learning experience is to not try to adjust the valves after a sleepless night of travel. The car was not in neutral. I figured this out shortly after my post. Just goes to show that you can make a foolish mistake even if you have done something before. Needless to say I checked the clearances three times before putting the valve cover back on.

), but I did not use a special tool. I just touched the two points from a set of needle-nosed pliers to the two screws to bump the engine. Be careful, though--make sure you're ready to use the pieces of throttle linkage that you haven't removed to shut the engine down if it starts. Somehow, my engine did start once doing this, even though I was bypassing the glow plugs (don't ask me how
).
