Glad you found your overheating issue.

Adjusting valves is really easy. Remove the spark plugs and the valve cover. Rotate the engine until both rocker arms for cyl #1 are loose and cyl #3 are tight. Then, with a .016 feeler gauge, adjust all 4 of the loose rocker arms.

Then turn the engine until #3 is loose and adjust the remaining rocker arms.

Do not over tighten the valve cover when putting it back on, snug is good.

With the spark plugs out, you can rotate the engine by turning the fan blades, if the tranny is in neutral :)
