I think this is a classic case of several things.

I suggest that if you're going to keep tackling jobs without knowing enough about it, get a Helms manual.

If nothing else, go stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

1. Let me direct you to this thread.

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=245555

2. excerpts from the thread.
once cyl#1 is done, turn the crank counterclockwise to have cyl#4 cam pointing outward like \ / ... or 180 degree counterclockwise. and adjust valve on cyl#4 as same method as before. repeat this for cylinder #3, & 2. The order of adjusting valve is as follow.

cylinder #1
cylinder #4
cylinder #3
cylinder #2
3. one more excerpts.
before begin, you should have very good knowledge on this or you should have expert with you to do this. this document is just to show you what type of work is involved and some information regarding F20C specific information.

What's the timeframe for an average backyard mechanic to adjust the valves?

Give yourself LOTS of time if this is your first time. Have a HELMS manual at the ready. Make damn sure you have ALL of the proper tools in line.

Make sure your schedule is clear, you don't want to rush this to get to an appointment of any kind.
