Adjusting Valves in Houston??

[my new 72]

Who wants to adjust the valves in the 385? I just got through adjusting them and they seem to be worse than they were before. I used the method of adjusting half the valves with it on 0 TDC on the #1 compression stroke, and the other half at #6 TDC compression stroke. I would rather do it running, but I don't have an extra valve cover to cut up, and I have a High volume high pressure pump in it, so no cover at all is out of the question. So does someone wanna come do it, or tell me how much I should expect to pay someone to do it.

well get out your manual...
you need to do more turning of the engine to set all of them
it's more like 4 different positions to set them all

That is how I have done them in the past, but never with the intake on. I always turn it 90 degrees and set a few, then 90 more and so on and so forth untill I was done, but this is the first time I have done a running engine in the vehicle.
