You do each cylinder when it's at TDC, so 1-3-4-2. It's a quarter turn of the cam gear or a half turn of the crank pulley to go to the next TDC for the firing order.

There's a trick to do it in half the time, but I'm trying not to confuse you. Do it when the engine is cold. And if you dont' have any clue what the above paragraph means, I wouldn't risk it and just take it to someone who knows what they'd be doing.

That's not the trick, the trick is being able to do 1 full cylinder, 1 in., 1 ex., rotate engine, 1 full cylinder, other in., other ex. This gets it done in half the time. In 3 hours I can post up how to do it, I have it written down at home.

As for the original poster, here's a walk thru:

Alright here we are.

With #1 at TDC, adjust both intake and exhaust on 1, intake on 2, exhaust on 3.

Adjust to #4 at TDC, adjust both intake and exhaust on 4, intake on 3, exhaust on 2.
