I was able to turn my engine over with a crescent wrench, it's kind of funky on the crank bolt but it can be done, btw unless you adjust the valves by having the #1 cylinder at TDC and adjust certain valves then rotating one full turn to get the #6 at TDC and adjusting the remaining valves it wasn't done correctly

I modified a 24mm socket specifically for the purpose of manually turning the engine over to torque the rockers without moving the rack. I pop it on and use a wrench to turn the motor over. Easy mod to do.
