Here's a short synopsis:
Turn the engine CW at the crankshaft pulley until the #6 valves "rock"- - -exhaust closing and intake opening.
Adjust cylinder #1 valves (NOT #6)
Turn the crankshaft 120 degrees CW- - - -#2 valves rock- - - -adjust #5
Turn 120 degrees- - - -#4 valves rock- - - -adjust #3
Turn 120 degrees- - - -#1 valves rock, adjust #6
Turn 120 degrees- - - -#5 valves rock, adjust #2
Turn 120 degrees- - - -#3 valves rock- - - -adjust #4
You can precisely adjust all 12 valves with only two turns of the crankshaft (hot or cold engine) if you pay attention to the firing order and the movement of the rocker arms.
