Remember that it's a four stroke.

TDC will only allow you to do half of the tappets as some valves are opening / closing when first cylinder at TDC.

A full 360 degree turn of the motor (ie back to TDC) will allow you to do the other half.

I don't have my manual in front of me, so I don't know the order, but you can probably search for it on here.
