Adjusting the valves

[Robert.Long@CSDInc.com]

Roadster List,

Here's how I've adjusted my valves, is this correct?

>From the passenger side, I'm turning the engine manually,
clockwise, until I see 2 springs compressed, pushrod pushing
the rocker up.  Then I count to this valve and subtract it
from 9, and adjust that valve to .017" (hot).  So, if #6 is
compressed, I adjust #3.

Is it correct to adjust 2 valves at a time?  It looks to me
like #4 and #7 compress at the same time, #8 and #6, #5 and #2,
#1 and #3.
