IIRC, Jim uses his floor jack under (what I call) the "wishbone" where
the tubes come together in the center of the car and (almost) at the
front-to-back balance point of the car.  That allows both of the
rocker covers to be removed, and apparently the position of the #1, 2,
3, and 4 valves to be viewed simultaneously to set the valves.

When he set my valve clearances, he was under the car, and asked my to
rotate the engine so the dizzy rotor turned clockwise(?) by 90°,
starting with the rotor pointing to #1.

Did I say that correctly, Jim?
