I believe you've got it right, now.
BTW, when I started monkeying around with cars, I used the John Muir "Idiot Book" as a reference. Lots of good info in there, written specifically for people who don't start out knowing lots of mechanical jargon and stuff.
There's actually a Honda "Idiot Book", but it only covers up into the early 80s. It still might be a help (I'm not sure frankly!) and may be worth grabbing used.
Link to Amazon's page for the book.
One caveat: Those were the instructions I was using when I set my valve clearances to "way too loose". It is hard to convey in writing how the feeler gauges are supposed to feel when the gap is correct.
