Larry,
The idea of calling for such and such another valve to be "all the way
open" is to make sure the cam lobe of the valve you are adjusting is at
its minimum. Thing is, it stays at its minimum (within, say, .001) for
quite a bit of rotation.
Short answer: If it looks like that other valve is open about as wide as
it'll go, you're more than close enough to set the gap.
