Sounds like you guys have it under control. As far as valve adjustment you can just use the TDC method. Piston TDC on compression stroke, take the rockers to 0 lash, give 3/4 additional turn, and lock them down. Follow in firing order and you'll be done before you know it. Pick up a set of the ARP head bolts if you can swing it. They're reusable and make sure you seal the short bolt threads with RTV black. I've used some of the non drying thread sealers before and had problems with leaky studs. Never had a problem with the RTV. Good luck guys.
