I have always done it with it running and lossened 1 rocker at a time till it starts to click then tighten it back down till it stops and go 1/8 to 1/4 turn.

If you go too far you can hear the odd noise in the exhaust. (if you dont have stock)

They adjust just like any other SBC. I usually pull the valve covers and roll the motor till one of the valves is opening, which with stock cams will put the other valve on the base circle of the cam, ie it's closed. I then roll the push rod between my fingers until I feel a drag, and add a quarter turn to set the preload on the lifter. Do this for all cylinders where one valve is open and the other is on its base circle. Roll the motor 180 degrees and repeat, and so on till they're all set. Pretty quick and easy.
