The most accurate way would be to set the intake valve on a cylinder when the exhaust valve on that cylinder starts to open. Set the exhaust valve when the intake valve starts to close. .
You probably had a lifter that was engorged and when you went to a full turn, it was opening the valve. My gut tells me that if you would have let it sit for a few minutes, it would have bled the oil out and the valve would have closed. Always a chance that you had short travel lifters as well and in that case, it could have just been opening the valves because the lifter was out of travel.
