Go one cylinder at a time, follow the firing order if you want. But to keep things less complicated you are probably best off to do one bank then the other, front to back or back to front or whatever you please. Anyhow, when the exhaust valve on that particular hole begins to open, adjust the intake to zero lash and add the desired preload(depending on what lifters you have could be from 1/4 turn to 1.5 turns).
Then, turn the motor until the intake valve opens, and when the intake valve fully closes, adjust your exhaust. This is about the safest and most fool proof way you can do it.

if it's an LS1 they have no lash setting. you simply set the bolt to torque specs. I believe it's 22 ft-lbs. I simply took them off swapped pushrods and put them back in place and tightened them up. simple as that with these engines
Some like to go 1/8th up to 1/2 a turn after zero lash....
