IIRC..
Run engine for 5 min (10 min cool weather, 15 min cold) and let it cool for 5 min
Perform a valve adjustment sequence. For each valve at TDC... (see haynes)
Remove plug
undo locking nut
undo adjusting screw.
finger tighten adjusting screw until stops on the valve stem (zero lash)
Adjust screw using a screwdriver to 1.5 turns in from zero lash and re-install plug
tighten lock nut
Check compression after adjustment

It'll be AutoData - https://www.autodata-group.com/uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - they used to publish books showing basic settings and cambelt arrangements, that sort of info, for damn near everything a garage was likely to come across. I suspect it's all an online subscription now.
