Default Valves won't adjust 97 Tahoe 5.7

Hi, Trying to adjust valves on my 97 5.7. I bring cyl 1 to TDC and adjust appropriate valves, turn motor 360 degrees and adjust other set. Every time I turn motor 360 degrees the previous set is loose again. Takes about three adjustments for them to stay tight and then they are too tight. Any Ideas?

I'd suggest with each piston at tdc adjust the lifters to mjust touching.
