Sounds good to me, turning the engine over to access the the next insert can be done in other ways.
Yes, I find it easier to remove the cam pulley cover and use a socket on the crank pulley bolt to rotate the engine.
That is a good way, but in my case I have a 4 post lift and can jack up the rear wheel and turn it by hand with the trans in gear to turn the motor (with plugs out).
