RE: auto adjusting rockers???
The intake the exhaust lifter/pushrods will be close to together. There are 8 "couples" of intake and exhaust.
So there is a total of 16 different lifters and pushrods to adjust.
There is one intake valve/lifter/pushrod per cylinder, and there is one exhaust valve/lifter/pushrod per cylinder. Both of them together are on one cylinder.
The intake side is one closest to the front of the engine, for each couple. The exhaust is on the firewall side.
With the intake off, and lifters removed, you could look in and see the cam lobes. More than likely there is not going to be a problem.
Keep asking questions, because we all start somewhere so don't worry about it.

if they are the stamped steel factory pedastal mount rockers just tighten them down to just that....the cam is hydraulic roller to hydraulic pressure compensates for lash.....the only time it matters to set preload is when switching to a roller rocker set up..if all your stuff is stock you'll be fine

They need to be tightened down on the base circle of the camshaft. You cannot just pop the valve cover off and start torqueing.
When the exhaust lifter is just starting to move up, the intake lifter is on the base circle, so then torque the intake side.
When the intake lifter is almost closed (that you just adjusted), the exhaust lifter is on the base circle, so then torque the exhaust side.
