Yes, the valve closest to the carb is the intake. If it helps you, you could unbolt the entire valve cover, rather than just removing the valve caps. The gasket should be reuseable. This would give you better access and the ability to properly tighten the adjusting nuts when you're done. My buddy recently failed to tighten his properly and they ended up in the crankcase. No damage thankfully; it could have been alot worse.
