To set the valve lifter clearance, you do it one cylinder at a time with the engine off. Rotate the engine until No. 1 cylinder is at top dead center on the compression stroke. Then set the clearance for both valves on that cylinder. Then rotate the engine 1/2 revolution until the next cylinder is at TDC and set it and so on until you have done all 4. Put the valve cover back on and run the engine until it is hot. Then shut it down remove the valve cover and recheck the clearances with the same procedure. Since yours is running, you may want to run and get it hot first and then do it. That way you only need to do it once. If the clearance is too much, the valves do not open as wide and you may get some loss of power. Also, you are subject to have a push rod jump out and possibly bend it or cause other damage. If there is not enough clearance, the valves will not close completely and you may burn a valve. Not sure what affect valve lash has on plug fouling.
