Fred, I adjusted the tappet clearances on my 115C by warming up the engine to operating temperature (after jacking up the front of the car, placing it on jack stands, removing the RF tire and inner fender panel, and tappet covers). Then, with the engine still warm adjusted two cylinders, re-ran the engine and adjusted two more cylinders, and continued until I had them all adjusted. I set them to standard clearance. I used a "Go-No Go" feeler gauge. I found this a better way to do the job than trying to do this with the engine running. Also, more accurate than doing the job on a cold engine. Still, not a lot of fun, but better than the other methods, in my opinion.
