Pistons in cylinders 2 and 3 are at TDC at the same time, and so are pistons 1 and 4. Determine which cylinder is at the end of the exhaust stroke and set those two valves.

Norcal, go with the .008/.203 mm feeler and you'll be good to go. Use the feeler to do the adjustment and recheck the gap after tightening down the nuts, as they may get off while you tighten them. Check them again after a couple runs.
