Smile Valve Adjustment

Recently acquired a 91 F-250 with a 7.3. Real fixer upper, but the price was right. Working in getting it to start when cold. New glow plugs, relay had been bypassed with manual switch. Starts like new when plugged in, am still investigating several items suggested here and on other sites.
My question for someone is how to set the valves? It has a slight miss and seems a little low on one cylinder when cranking over, want to start with valves first. Can anyone give me the correct procedure and specs?

You might consider posting this in the Pre-Power Stroke Diesel forum since you don't have a Power Stroke.

no valve adjustment to be made on the engine since they have hydraulic lifters.
