rocker arm adjustment
Easy, put your finger on the rocker arm. You'll feel it. Tighten the ones that are clicking until they shut up and then do them one at a time. Did you decide how much past zero lash you're going to go?

I never liked doing it that way. I always use the comp cams method and it always works great. Use steps 7-8

Beer case cardboard cut into strips and shoved into the head in a manor that allows it to drain back AND keeps the oil off the exhaust .. Works well ,Unless you want a fire and or a stupid smoky mess.
On a side note worthy of mentioning, a automotive stethoscope is a good CHEAP tool to use when doing this to single out one rocker from all the others..
So simple it is stupid

You should ALWAYS use a splatter shield when tightening in this method!

I've done it both ways and I prefer the engine running method unless the car has pretty loud exhaust. I even made a shroud out of an old SBC valve cover with the middle cut out. If your having a hard time hearing it you could try a mechanics stethoscope or a screw driver. I have only readjusted mine once since I did the LS7 lifter swap over a year ago.
I always hear about people and their rockers backing off though, so I use the 1/16th turn-set-screw-poly-lock-thingy method. I haven't adjusted my rockers in 2 and a half years and they haven't backed off yet!
