Just to second what Mark said; you turn the engine until both valves on one cylinder are partly open, and then set both valves for
the cylinder that is opposite in the firing order.
I use this method all the time (when I run the valves) as I find it much easier to remember, and to do; than counting out the "Rule
of 9" all the time. As a bonus, it works for all Triumphs, whether 4, 6 or 8 cylinders. There are a few engines in the world that
it doesn't apply to, but it covers most of them. (Basically any even-fire 4-stroke with an even number of cylinders.)
