Valve adjustment

I recently installed a set of Ford adjustable rocker arms on my 428CJ.
How do I adjust them properly? I tried the old style method that I use on the non-rail type-tightening it until you can't turn the pushrod between your fingers anymore then 3/4 turn more, but that was too tight. Then I tried what a buddy suggested, tightening it until there's no side to side movement on the pushrod anymore, then 1/2 turn more. It seems to run good, but there's a little rocker noise (ticking). I've never rebuilt a FE before, do the rail type rockers make a little more noise than the non-rail type? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
