Re: adjusting valves
When I assemble an engine, the camshaft goes in first, then the valves. They are adjusted before anything else goes in. As for measuring and adjusting, I use the "Rule of 9" described in a website mentioned above.
On the rare occassions I adjust the clearances on an assembled motor, there is a bit of "back and forth" but it doesn't take long. You don't even need the head off to see which valves are open so you can use the "9" rule but that darned steerring column is a PITA.
