Right just thought if check mine. Following merlins how to.
I've just done cylinder 1 I've rotated the crank one turn so 360, as stated in the guide this should bring cylinder 3 to tdc. But it's not lol. Cylinder one still.
I removed the spark plug to see the number 3 piston goes back down as the marks on the gears come into align?
What I am doing wrong?

ideally you need two people doing this, one to turn the crank and one to check when the cam lobe is at the correct position for that particular cylinder - that's how ive done all of mine

So am I right in thinking if I just adjust each valve when the love is at the top eg 180 from the rocker. I'll be ok to work though like this?

use that as a rough guide only, you should be watching the cam gears really to see when the next two smaller arrows line up. there should be 4 sets on each of them as far as I remember, I shall check it out when I get home unless someone else confirms on this thread during that time
