I'm sure the PO said the oil was fresh, too?
A small portion of James' wise advice above is to assume nothing is right. That way, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you do find something is right.

Capacity doesn't really make much difference. Oil tanker engines are the size of your house, but won't make a 510 feel fast. Fast is the last thing you should worried about at the moment.

A quick scan of eBay also reveals at least six different service manuals currently on auction, so maybe you need to search again and take another look.
Lastly, there are many service manuals available here:

The process is documented in the service manuals.
Keep in mind, you're going to need to diagnose your issues, not guess at them from the comfort of your computer chair. Your tap in the head could just as easily be the Datsun Knock Of Death as poor valve adjustment. You'll need to go in there are do the clearance checks to
verify what you have and therefore determine what you need.
Because when you spend a silly amount of money on a silly, trivial thing that will help you not one jot, you are demonstrating that you have a soul and a heart and that you are the sort of person who has no time for Which? magazine. – Jeremy Clarkson
Yes, valve events would be later. Damn I even drew a picture for myself and then still used the wrong word.
