FWIW, My driveway slopes towards the street, so I usually run the valves in
reverse order.

Also, if you have limited space (like in a garage with the door closed), you
can do a cylinder or two, then knock it out of gear, roll back to the other
end, put back in gear and do the others.

Kind of ironic, for years I had the crank dog available, but no hand crank.
Then after deleting the crank dog, I got several hand cranks in a pile
o'parts.  I've still never been able to hand crank any of my TR3s!  

Did get rather good at push-starting by myself; but that was over 40 years
ago.  I wouldn't want to do it today.
