I believe the proper sequence is to adjust the intake valve when the exhaust starts closing, and the exhaust when the intake begins to open.
Each lifter may feel tighter or looser because of previous leak down from being compressed.
What you are looking for is when the pushrod first meets resistance while tightening the adjuster, then it a half to 3/4 turn past that..
I keep turning the pushrod while making the adjustment to be certain when contact is first made.



The Lunati cam sheet says adjust intake when exahust just starts to open and adjust exhaust when intake is fully open.
For the zero lash i,m using the up and down method because i don,t have the touch of a trained engine builder and twisting the pushrod may result into a excesive lifter preload.
