If you can follow directions...I have a very good write up from 100 years ago...by fred colvin.
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

I don't see any directions.

One word YouTube!
When I had to time the Walschearts gear on my engine I read a few old write ups and I just had a lot of trouble getting it all to click. A few mins of YouTube watching and it all made sense. Lots of videos these days on there on timing all the major valve gears.
