When adjusting intake and exhaust, you do both at TDC right?
1. Find TDC...large hole at top and both smaller holes level at the edges.
2. adjust both intake and exhaust, one after the other without moving engine?
Just want to make sure i dont have to rotate engine to a different point to do the exhaust and that both setting are done at the same TDC point.

That is how it's done.

You need to make sure more than just the holes are lined up----- make sure the mark on the flywheel "T" lines up to the notch on the engine, along with the holes lined up!!!
Just do it on a cold engine and recheck the settings after you tighten the nuts back down---just to make sure the gaps are still set to where you want them.
Is there a certain valve adjustment guide you are using?

You don't need to line up the timing marks on the flywheel. That is just an unnecessary extra step. Just line up the holes on the cam sprocket and check to make sure the rocker arms are off the cam lobes. And yes, do the adjustment on a cold engine and recheck the gaps after you tighten the nut down to make sure the adjuster didn't move.

Gatekeeper has a point. It is faster that way. As long as you have another way to verify TDC, which can't be done by just looking at the holes, then you are good to go. Also, the rocker arms and cam are right there.
