push rods poly adjustment

[cadjaw55]

i recently replaced the valve seals on my 64 318 poly. what is the correct way to adjust the push rods. they had to be removed to rotate the rocker arms up to get at the seals. i was told "not to tight, not to loose!" i have gone through the manual and did not find much info. any advice is welcome!
thank you kindly

that 318 has solid lifters. hot lash setting is .013 on intake and .021 on the exhaust.

push rod adjustment

Is this a valid way to adjust pushrods??????????
What I was told and did was #1 TDC compression & set intake & exhaust for #2 & #8
rotate 90 & set #1 & #4
rotate 90 & set #8 & #3
rotate 90 & set #4 & #6
rotate 90 & set #3 & #5
rotate 90 & set #6 & #7
rotate 90 & set #5 & #2
rotate 90 & set #7 & #1
Started it up and sounds ok a little tapping but not too sure if this is correct. I want to re-check them again tonight.
