It's not rocket science. Either get a knowledgeable friend or pay a mechanic to adjust the valves and learn. The valve clearance has to be done periodically because of wear on the top of the valve stem and the rocker that operates it. Letting it go too long means a bigger gap, the rocker hits the valve stem with more force and you get more wear, faster.
