Hi Joe,
It is unlikely that the valve will need much, if any stem removed to adjust 
it unless it has had a lot of running or maybe had the seat and face lapped.  

Just for grins, try spinning the engine backward to see if it shows 
compression in that direction.  If it has a compression release, that may defeat it and 
let you see what is happening in the running mode.  

Regards,
Ron
