Default Dialing In An Adjustable Rocker Arm

I'm still relatively new to LSx motors. I have purchased a Comp Cams Pro Magnum rocker arm kit. I will be installing it soon. The kit allows for an adjustable valve train. Assuming it's all set up as the factory intended and had run the kit properly. Down the road, could I back off the rocker nut until it the lifters start clacking...tighten the nut until it stops and then turn it an additional 1/2 turn? The same technique that has worked for Gen I smallblocks for years?

Those are not adjustable, if they were adjustable it would be over the push-rod cup area.

Yes. Those LS type rockers are adjustable and you can adjust them that way.
