OK, the exhaust valve on #6 will be the last one in line, closest to the firewall. On the other cylinders, just look at the relationship between the intake and exhaust manifold runners and the valves to distinguish intake from exhaust. Also, as you're turning the engine, the exhaust valve on each cylinder will be the first one to open during the cycle. "Open" is when the valve spring is being compressed, with the valve end of the rocker arm moving toward the cylinder head. When you get the valves "rocking", (intake opening and exhaust closing), adjust both valves of the companion cylinder, NOT the ones that are moving!
#6 rocking, adjust both valves on #1. Turn crankshaft 1/3 turn clockwise.
#2 rocking, adjust both valves on #5. Turn crankshaft 1/3 turn clockwise.
#4 rocking, adjust both valves on #3.Turn crankshaft 1/3 turn clockwise.
#1 rocking, adjust both valves on #6. Turn crankshaft 1/3 turn clockwise.
#5 rocking, adjust botyh valves on #2. Turn crankshaft 1/3 turn clockwise.
#3 rocking, adjust both valves on #4.
Install valve cover, and crank up engine. Noise should be gone.
