I dont think your valves should be very far out after 15 or 20K . If they were WAY tight when you had it done the first time then they should be checked again fairly soon but you said they were adjusted twice before, in which case they should not have been too far out. What I do is on a clip board draw your valves and label them "ex" or "in" by looking at the manifold and check them off as you do them. I turn the engine with the steering pump bolt (clockwise only).
