If you set your ignition timing without a timing light/gun, you might as well adjust your valves without feeler guages. The proper tools don't cost that much. If you're not going to use them, you're better off leaving it alone. If you're really that cheap or lack the funds to buy a timing light, borrow one. Or buy one and return it the next day.

Could I use this toutorial for my 98 ex engine even though it says b18 engine?
Could I also use the valve clearance toutorial for my car even though its showing on a DOHC although mine is a SOHC?

As for the valve adjustment procedure, it's actually a lot simpler on a SOHC than on a B series. You don't even need to make that offset wrench like thy did. Just a regular 10mm box-end wrench, flathead screwdriver,a nd the appropriate feeler gauges. Then, just follow the same process outlined on the page(adjust until there's slight drag on the gauge, then tighten the lock nut). The rocker arm tappets on an SOHC aren't recessed into the head like on a DOHC, so it's a lot easier. Just make sure each cyl is at TDC before you start adjustin its valves, and make sure you're adjusting the right cylinder. It's easy to accidently adjust cyl 3 while cyl 2 is at TDC, etc.
