Try adjusting the valves , but NOT by where the rotor is pointing.
Get a remote starter button. Remove the valve covers. Watch any pair of 
rockers.
Rotate engine in direction of rotation. When the exhaust just starts to 
OPEN, adjust the intake
valve. Loosen locknut, unscrew adjuster, tighten til you feel it touch, then 
go 1 turn in.
Rotate engine, exhaust will open and close, intake will open and close. When 
the intake is
completely CLOSED, adjust the exhaust. Loosen locknut, unscrew adjuster, 
tighten til you feel it touch, then
go 1 turn in. Go to next cylinder. Same procedure. After a while of doing 
them this way,
you can do whole job in 2 revolutions of the engine and never get off your 
back but once,
when you are done.

Exhaust valve just starts to OPEN = adjust that cylinders intake.
Intake valve just completely CLOSES = adjust that cylinders exhaust.

The lifter for the valve you are adjusting will always be on the heel of the 
cam.
