Default Roller Rocker adjustment

I overhauled my engine about three years ago and my head gaskets blew, steam was coming out of the tail pipe. Im ready to put it back together but I forgot how to adjust the Mopar Performance P5007404 1.7 Roller Rockers. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanx

This is a very basic way to set valves. There are other ways to do this but this is easiest. Remove all sparkplugs, Unplug ignition coil, Start with any cylinder, and set them in this way: As the intake valve just begins to close, adjust the exhaust valve; as the exhaust valve begins to open, adjust the intake valve. You can use a remote starter switch, to move the engine through its rotation or a ½ drive ratchet and socket on the crankshaft. I prefer to do it with the ratchet as it gives me more control.
I use this for method for my 318 in a car.
Start with #1 at TDC on compression, and set the intakes and exhausts for #2 and #8 (respectively) then:
Rotate 90*, set #1 #4 (Intake, Exhaust)
Rotate 90*, set #8 #3
Rotate 90*, set #4 #6
Rotate 90*, set #3 #5
Rotate 90*, set #6 #7
Rotate 90*, set #5 #2
Rotate 90*, set #7 #1
Use this info at your own risk
If you have no idea where to start, or if this does not make sense to you I am willing to take the time and write it out for you, just pm me and let me know.
