If your car was running on all four cylinders before this, I would follow
the spark plug wires when determining which valves to adjust next.  Your
rotor should be pointing at the plug wire that goes to the ones you are
adjusting.  It is possible to adjust valves in less than 4 turns if you know
which ones to tackle with each turn so you may have been doing OK when you
did the first 2 valves even if you had the motor turned to the wrong position.
