I have a complete 2.8 sitting in my garage getting bathed in pb blaster for a complete disassembly. let me know what photos you want of what angles and I'll take them and email them to you. I have a really really high end digital camera so I can get you some detailed shots if you need them. nothing has been taken off.. Max the Chainsaw simply removed the car from the engine so I'ts 100% as if it was in the car right now EXCEPT for the throttle cables.. I took those off last night.

for the cylinders closest to the trunk (rear) from the pass side to the drivers side is 1-3-5
for the cylinders closest to the firewall (front) from the pass side to the drivers side is 2-4-6
using the picture you posted above, you can see the intake valves with the intake manifold off.
so for the forward cylinders, pass side to drivers side E-I-I-E-I-E
just flip that around for the rear cylinders, pass side to drivers side E-I-E-I-I-E
(E = exhaust valve and I = intake valve)
all of the above is looking from the rear of the car forward...

if you haven;t done it yet, and the intake is still off, here is a way to set it properly.
install the rocker arm and rod on the cylinder you are going to adjust. grab the pushrod down near the lifter. slowly tighten the lifter til the ball is just in the cup of the lifter, and start moving it side to side. as it moves further into the cup, you will be able to move it less, until it won;t move at all. if you are watching the cup it should not have moved down at all. wiggle the rocker a little, then check the wiggle at the lifter end. if none, start the preload from there and tighten the nut another 1.5 turns. the spinning method does not always work too well, the reall trick is making sure you are not compressing the cup on the lifter before you set the valves. with the intqke off, it is actually easiest to just watch the cup, it has a retaining ring with 2 wires going across the top of the cup. when the cup just moves off that wire is when you start counting turns. you will see what I mean as you do it.
just be sure you don't over compress the lifters, you should try to get it as close as possible. with no oil in the motor, and it cold, the lifters will compress fairly easily, so you need to watch the cups on the lifters.
if the intake is on, you can do it in a similar fashion. let the pushrod rest in the lifter.hold it with 2 fingers so it can;t compress down,(the guideplate is a good rest) and slowly take up on the rocker. wiggle the rocker side to side , you should feel it hit the pushrod in the little cup it sits in. when there is no play left, then start counting the turns in.
the 1.5 turn in adjustment makes starting too loose on the rocker starting point more desirable than starting too tight.
