Quite True!!!. My mechanic who taught me how to do it, showed me in this order:

1) adjust closed intake valves to spec, hand rotate the engine till all intake valves are adjusted.
2) repeat the above with the exhaust valves,
3) rotate engine and check all valves again.
4) replace all covers, replace carbs and the rest of the fuel system
5) sync carbs (if your bike has more than one carb.)
6) start bike andcheck for vacuum and other leaks, adjust as nessasary

the above method was taught to me on a 16valve 4 carb Suzuki GSX-F model bike
