Does anybody know the specific gaps for the valve adjustment on a ford 7.8? Thanks!

IN: .010 EX: .018. Write this down: 1 5 3 6 2 4. Under that write down 6 2 4 1 5 3. Turn the engine, in the direction of rotation, and watch the exhaust valve closing on 6 and stop as soon as the intake valve begins to open. Adjust the valves on 1 and mark it off. Turn and watch the valves on 2. Then adjust 5, etc.
