Default B16A valve question

I am adjusting the valves tonight. However I am not sure which are which.

Are all of them on the exhaust side exhaust valves and the other side all intake valves or... Thanks in advance

ok so now I have another question. When I got to the last two (cyl 4 and 2 - closest to dizzy) the exhaust valves would not open enough enough to get the gauge in, so i just left it as loose as it would go and tightened down the lock nut. Well now when it runs it has a rattling noise, pretty loud to. So what do I do about those two valves?

This is where a repair manual would come in real handy!

I forgot to reply in here again. I spent some time on youtube trying to find someone doing a DOHC engine! I realized I did it in the wrong order! > I did it straight down the line from number 1 the first time. Gotta learn somehow i guess. Well anyway, after I did it the right way everything is good and quiet!
