There are a couple of ways to adjust.

1:  Use a dial indicator on the valve side of the rocker to check clearance.

2:  Measure the adjuster thread pitch then calculate travel per turn.  Metric 
bolt pitch is measured directly.  A 8 mm X 1 mm  is a 8 mm dia bolt with 1 mm 
spacing of threads.  This gives 1mm travel per 1 rotation on the bolt.

Turn the adjuster until it lightly bottoms ( finger tight ) then back off to 
the specified fraction of a turn.
