Adjusting valves has nothing to do with the other half of his issue, that being a coolant leak!
The head gasket failed for whatever reason and all you can do now is.
1) confirm that the block deck and head deck is straight within,002”.
2) confirm that the head bolts are not bottoming out.
3) confirm a correct torque is being used and that the torque wrench reads within 5 lbs of dead on above 80 lbs.
4) pressure test the head or bolt it on and the pressurize the cooling system before wasting time installing the valve train to start the motor,
The heads deck surface needs to be like a mirror finish if you want good gasket life!
