valve/lifter adjustment
Is there any reason I couldn't adjust the hydraulic lifters at each cylinder's TDC? Chevrolet says do half the valves at #1 TDC and the rest at #6 TDC.
I was going to leak down the engine and figured I would do both at the same time.
Thanks in advance.

Both the intake and the exhaust valve are closed at TDC. The reason Chevrolet says to do the ones they say when #1 is at TDC is that both the valves on those cylinders are also closed. Likewise for when #6 is at TDC.
Keep in mind that all pistons are at TDC twice, once on the compression stroke and once on the exhaust stroke. You must adjust the rockers/lifters when the piston is on the compression stroke.
So, yes, you can adjust then at each cylinder's TDC as long as it is on the compression stroke.
