Adjusting the valves, quick and short questions., NOW I need help on timing !!!! PLEASE Options

[913B]

I am checking the valves because they seem noisy and also to track down an erratic idle
I have read the rocking method but I would like to stick with the dizzy and TDC method please.

I read cyl #1 & #3 has same TDC and #2 & #4 has same TDC

Question 1 – Setting TDC on the fan notch does it have to be at “0” or will the notch for “27BTDC” work too

When I find TDC for #1 on fan notch and dizzy rotor is pointing to #1 tower of dizzy cap

Question 2 - Can I adjust all the valves for #1 and #3 cyl ??
Then rotating the motor to #2 TDC on fan notch and dizzy is pointing to #2 tower

Question 3. Can I adjust all the valves for #2 and #4 cyl ??

Question 4. Is it wise to replace the cork valve cover and not risk a leak.
The gasket is pretty new though and low mileage since I last had them off.
I am thinking of purchasing the 914rubber re-usable ones. Any recommendation’s

Thanks everyone !

Can someone please confirm I am doing this right.

With the car on jack stands the right wheel on ramp and unmoveable, in 5 gear I am rotating the driver rear wheel in the backwards direction.

When I see the notch on the flywheel underneath between the trans, the dizzy points to #2
I rotate it again until I see the notch and the dizzy points to #2 again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

I continue to rotate the wheel backward directions until I see notch again, dizzy points to #4, I rotate again until I see the notch and it shows #4 on dizzy again,

Then the whole thing repeats, the dizzy never points to #1 or #3 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) ??

I cannot correlate any marks on the flywheel cutout on top in the engine compartment because I am always underneath the vehicle.

When the dizzy is pointing to #2 or #4 the fan marks are no where to be seen
Does this mean the fan timing marks are wrong ?
So would this explain why I can't time it correctly ?

So what should I look for on the flywheel and where so I can get TDC for #1 and #3

Thanks in advance

Another odd thing the valve cover on drivers side has logo upside down but the passenger side cover has the logo upside, the head cutout matches the contour of the cover, oh well, minor details, it wasn't leaking.

Help please !!!
