I assume that by adjusting valves you mean valve shims?

I wrote this little tutorial a while back, not too in depth but it should help a little.

One question. I looked at the link posted by yardarm. Once you've measured all of your clearances, why not just take the cams off and remove the buckets instead of presssing them down with two screwdrivers and using pliers to pull them out? It doesn't take but a minute or two to remove the caps and take the cams out. Is there a reason he did it this way?
If you remove the cams to take the shims out then you can very easily just pop them off with a small flatblade screwdriver or magnetic parts tool. You'd have to set up all the timing again properly if you did this which would be more effort than working around it. Obviously to remove the cams the pulleys, timing belt, covers etc all need to go.
It takes longer to remove the belt from the pulley, and pull the pulley off the cam, than to pull the shim with the bucket depressed. The factory tool, which isn't anything more than a fancy plier, and the long spacer works quite well.
Im guessing SH meant when you are putting a motor together, and you have the cams in but nothing on the front of them yet. When I did my motor I torqued the cams, measured, calculated, removed cams and reshimmed. Then reinstall cams, verify gap and proceed with the rest of the build.
I did the same thing. But I also took the valve covers off and rechecked them in a week after it was running... sure enough, the values had changed a bit on a few, so I used the other method to replace those.theWeezL;1008393 said:
On new motors I always leave an extra 2 thou as they do settle and the lash will close down in use as the valves receed.
When building, that should work fine. Valve adjust on this engine is to be done when the motor is stone cold. Or your adjustment will be wrong.
