It is much easier to check the valves if you remove the front side cover on the right side, the one that is sorta kidney shaped. There is a hex on the end of the crankshaft and you can turn the engine over by hand easily with the right wrench. Get a gasket for that cover, or be prepared to make a new one, that one is delicate so can tear easily.
Since the previous owner installed camshafts, I think it's a good idea to check the clearances.
