You just want to make sure the followers are riding on the base circle of
the cam.
A failsafe way would be to pull the plugs and make sure the piston is at TDC
for the cylinder you a playing with.

Valve adjusting order, Bentley is vague. Page 15.29
says "rotate crankshaft 180� clockwise and adjust next cylinder."

My Volksheimers is kicking in again.
By next cylinder, do they mean next, as in 1-2-3-4?
or next, as in firing order 1-4-3-2?
