How many licks does it take to get to the center of a toosie roll pop?

W/o knowing the previous state of the engine, there's no way of knowing what TDC you're on.

suck squeeze bang blow, each of these strokes takes 180° (half turn)
a TDC occurs every full turn.

You want to adjust the valve at the end of the squeeze stroke.
This is where it is crucial that the valves are closed.

rotate the engine and watch the valves move...
intake opens, then a little less then a half turn they close
a full turn later, the exhaust opens and closes again.
almost immediately the intake will open then close again.
one half turn later, you'll be at TDC at the end of the compression stroke.
bingo, adjust the valves.

Do this several times to memorize it... and to check yourself.
it's easy with a little experience.

Well I did it, not sure if I got it right.  All that clicking noise is gone from the head, but my only concern is if I got them them a bit to tight.  Are their any tell tell signs?  Again thanks for your help.

If you think it's too tight, try again.
unless you got someone else to check it for you...
there's no better way than to put the effort in and check it.

evaluating your work by ear... you'll be an old hand at this in no time.   Smiley

Gents, thanks for your insight.  I had them just a hair to tight, now to loose.  I'll get them where they need to be soon enough.  I would have posted something sooner, but that storm did some damage to the town next to me and cut a major fiber optic line.
