I think this is a classic case of several things.

I suggest that if you're going to keep tackling jobs without knowing enough about it, get a Helms manual.

If nothing else, go stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

What's the timeframe for an average backyard mechanic to adjust the valves?

Give yourself LOTS of time if this is your first time. Have a HELMS manual at the ready. Make damn sure you have ALL of the proper tools in line.

Make sure your schedule is clear, you don't want to rush this to get to an appointment of any kind.
