You may have the lifters collapsed now. I go by overlap (Exhaust close/intake open) when #4 is on overlap adj #1. bring the rockers down to zero, then 3/4 turn. the push-rods may be a bad indicator of zero lash. then the rest 2 overlap do 3, 1 overlap do 4, 3 overlap do 2. Overlap happens at TDC exhaust stroke, the opposite cyl is TDC compression. (Use that to set the dist. in the right place) when #4 is on overlap it's firing #1.
