Biggest thing with adjusting valves is you want to be sure you are on the backside of the cam. There is a chart for this:
But I just use the EOIC method. This means that
When the EXHAUST is starting to OPEN you adjust the intake on that cylinder
When the INTAKE is nearly CLOSED you adjust the exhaust for that cylinder
Make sure the feeler is parallel to the top of the valve stem, you can "feel" this by wiggling it. I usually use the feeler "I want" for clearance and another that is .002-3 larger. I adjust so the one I want goes, the larger does not.
