I absolutely do not understand why you’d want to jump over to #6 next since that cylinder has the valves in active overlap. I’d much prefer them static and I’d do #1 at TDC of the compression stroke followed by #8, etc. all methodically in 90* increments. BTW, if it’s a solid or solid roller, take a cold lash measurement before removal so you can put it back extremely close to what it was.
