Default Girlfriends 91 GS, is valve adjustment THAT hard??

Hey guys, my girlfriend came back from a trip back home to Maine, and well she brought home a car. Its a 1991 Intergra GS (from canada), its automatic and a handme down from the older brother.

Car seems to run run but has a good loud valve tick that she would like fixed. Ive never personally adjusted valves but I have the special tool to do it on hondas.

Im also used to single slammers so I dont know much about the process. Can anyone help me with a few words or even a pic or two on how to get the cylunders in the right spots and which cylinders to check and where to check and anything that will help??

Id really like to get this right the first time so my girl trusts me to do ACTUAL mods lol

thanks guys!!

the First thing i would do is take a glance at the top of your screen and use the "search" function. not being a dick, but if i didn't say that someone else would have.

nah, i did it with straight gauges no problem, its reletively easy to do and doesnt take long, i just stack a couple extensions on a ratchet and stick it on the crank pulley without even removing the wheel to rotate the engine.
