Default Valve adjust help

I just went around the block a few times after the hci swap
seems one of therocker arms worked itself loose and tapping.
valves seemed to chattter alot at high rpm.
I went 3/4 turn after valve was closed to adjust them
do I just need to go half a turn???
how do you guys adjust your valves???
I have 1.6 crane steel roller rockers.
with the poly locks
1994 stang
Im going to reajust them all just wondering how many turns you guys go on yours?

Between 1/2 and 3/4 after zero lash is fine. Did you turn the allen head locking nut on the top of the rocker (if equipped)?
