360 rail rockers HELP!

The 360 in my 69 F100 started makin a very loud knockin sound when I was crusin on the highway yesterday . I got home and traced it to the driver side valve cover. I have it pulled off but for the life of me I cant get it adjusted right. What are the torque specs for the rocker arm rail? Arent the FE heads oiled from the top of the rail studs like a Windsor? Ive only had the truck since December and that was the first time I had driven it over 55mph. Could they have been adjusted to tight and not been getting enought oil when it was runnin nat high speed/RPM? The guy I bought the truck from was not very knowledgeable about autos and could have do it himself or let someone else do it thinkin they were doin it right.
This thread, so far...
