Default Rocker tightening sequence for adjustables?

What is the sequence for doing adjustable rockers? I dont want to have to turn the motor over 100 times to get all the rockers adjusted.

I start on number one and then work my way back. I found it is the best way to not miss any.

I made a remote starter switch for mine to use for rocker adjustment. I ran wire to the small term. on the starter solenoid, and a wire to the 12v(+) on the driver side. Using a push button you'll be able to 'bump' your way through a lot easier.

The motor is out of the car right now. I just didnt want to spin it over a bunch of times to get all 8 done. I was wondering if anyone knew the valve sequence like the SBCs for adjusting the rockers.

Thanks guys

can't you just use firing order? there might be a faster way, but this way you only have to turn it over twice at the most, 90 degrees for each cylinder.

The most you'll need to turn it is twice. Set it on #1 TDC and follow the firing order turning the crank 1/4 turn each time.

Two rotations is not a big deal.
