Pretty easy to follow. Done mine sunday morning and is a lot better.
All I would say is take time, keep checking the clearances and adjust in very small increments.

Good find, bit of a dumb question I know, but I assume these measurements will apply to all Del Sols UK and Import?

Done mine this morning, few notes for D series engines:

Inlet gap is 0.2 mm
Exhaust is 0.25mm

To set top dead centre turn the cam anti-clockwise until the up arrow is up, then there is a notch in the bottom of the cam pulley that should line up with a notch on the top of the bottom cam belt cover.

Oh and remeber to take your ratchet off of the bottom pulley or you will crap your pants when you try to start it!
Lesson learned, thought i had snapped the cambelt!!!
