I'd like to find out from those who have done a valve adjustment on the 617 engine what is the best method of rotating the engine. Apparently, the choices are :
1) use the starter
2) use the power steering pump
3) use the crank (may require removing fan)

I did it once and used the power steering pump, but I've seen recommendations against that because it may cause later problems with removing the nut.

Anyone who has done this, please reply with your method and what your opinion is of it and any other method.

Thanks in advance.
