Normally the way I do valves is turn the crank until the intake and 
exhaust for
some cylinder are 'on the rock' where the exhaust is just about closed 
and the
intake just starting to open.  Then I adjust the valves for that 
cylinder's mate.
On the Spits that would be cylinders 1 & 4 and 2 & 3.  If you follow the
firing order it goes fairly quickly.
