Pedestals or adjustable studs?

if they are stud mount...after making sure push rod is correct length/ correct geometry, roll each cylinder up on tdc and progress in accordance with firing order doing both intake and exhaust on that cylinder and tighten down until 0 lash = slight drag on push rod while spinning it then 1/4 to 1/2 more turn from there..then lock poly lock down
