Default Push rod and rocker arm install?

Ok so on my 4.2 I'm replacing head gaskets and I'm ready to put the push rods and rocker arms in there original places but I'm wondering how do I adjust the rocker arms? Torque to spec? Or rotate the engine or what? There non adjustable stock rockers they just bolt down to the head that's all, no adjusting screws! If you know anything I'd really appreciate any info!.

Yes I did I asked my ase certified diesel instructor and he said just torque the rocker arm bolts to there specs! The hydralic lifters act as the adjustments it does it all itself! I had a lifter ticking on bank 5 and after I finished my rebuild it stop and I running like a champ
