What I have done is take a feeler gauge and adjust while its running.You want them close before you start so you want to make sure none of them are too tight or too loose before you try to start the engine so they dont bend pushrods or valves.This might not work either.
Another thing you can do is turn the engine until its ready to set number 1.Look close at your adjusters.Will you have to move either on a long ways in comaparison to the rest of them to get it adjusted?Is one of them tight?Are the valves on 6 loose?If you dont like what you see turn it over again to number 1.Are both sides a little loose?If so you are on the right stroke and can do them by the firing order after that. If you have any trouble post again and maybe I can help.
