Spud's instructions are excellent (as usual!)
Just a bit of advice: Once you're done setting the valves, turn the engine over by hand so the valves are actuated. You'll see when you're on the base circle of the cam because neither the exhaust or intake valves are moving. Once you are at that point where both sets of valves are at their highest position (no load on any of the valves), insert your feeler gauge again and ensure you have the correct clearance.
As Spud said, looser is better than tighter, but too loose and you'll get a lot of valve train clatter.
Take your time, and take a break after adjusting the valves. Better to get it right than to do the job again.
