Then you turn the motor over once back to the timing mark, you are now firing on #6, you adjust #2,5,6,7, exhaust & #3,4,6,8, intake. For hydraulic lifters you back the rocker off till you have play, then you take out all the slack between the push rod & rocker, then you tighten the rocker nut one full turn. This will place the hydraulic lifter plunger half way through it's travel.
After driving around for a while iīll do a running adjustment, loosening one rocker nut at a time until the rocker clatters, snug it up til itīs quiet and then a full turn.
For this it helps having a valve cover with a cutout roof and some clips on rockers covering the spurt holes.
FWIW

Same here for adjusting valves I have a cheat sheet for it...lol
