Easiest way:
Do each cylinder one at a time. Bump the engine over until you just start to see a valve start to open (rocker moving, lifter coming up etc) Then adjust the other valve for that cyl.
Spin the push rod with your fingers as you turn down the rocker arm nut, as soon as you start to feel tension stop (your now at zero lash), turn the nut another 1/4 turn and lock it down. 1/4 turn is good for almost all LT1s. Rarely will you need to go any more. Only acception would be if you are running Morel or COMP R lifters, those only get an 1/8 after zero lash.
Bump the engine over until the rocker you just adjusted begines to open, the adjust the other vavle for that cylinder.
