I have used the absolute simplest, fool-proof method, for the last 30+ years. This is it:

1. Rotate the engine with a bump switch until the EXHAUST rocker goes down to open the exhaust valve. Set the INTAKE lash now on that cylinder.

2. Rotate the engine until the INTAKE rocker comes up to close from its full lift position. Set the EXHAUST lash now on that cylinder.

3. Repeat for the remaining seven cylinders following your firing order.
