I've used the methods from the 311s.org techwiki, Scott Sheeler's book, and
just rotating the crank and adjusting the next valve that's closed.........
They all work, it's just a matter of how many times you do it to get proficient
at it. It can be a bit frustrating sometimes holding the correct clearance as
you tighten the nut..............

What valve adjustment method do you use? My car sounds better with the
current technique for adjustment so I think it can make a difference.

Solid and flat. Use an oil with adequate amounts of phosphorous and zinc,
possibly a higher viscosity (15-40, 15-50, ........), and a valve adjustment
may help.
Seems more than a few R engined roadster owners are having a tough time
eliminating the tick, tick noise and are just adjusting to the least noise
level........
myself included......

great oil pressure but seems to run a little hot. I live in Arizona so....
