2.8 valve adjustment
You will neen a regular screwdriver and a boxend wrench that fits the rocker nut. You need to loosen the rocker nut about half a turn and then you should be able to turn the adjustment screw. When you are done tighten up the rocker nut again and the screw will lock in place.

I usually run them around twice just in case, because I hate pulling all the stuff off to get at them. I set them Spring & Fall and she purrs like a kitten.

Edit.
Yes the lock nuts are probably very tight, most people have never adjusted them. Use a 6 point box wrench and you should be ok.
