I personally have had no luck this way. They always seem to tick even when you get to the point they are tightened down too far and the engine runs like crap.

Adjust the rocker arms the normal + correct way (two different methods - either is fine) and then move on to diagnosing other parts if you think this noise is still a problem.

Unfortunately noise issue diagnosing over a computer is near impossible - hard enough when looking at it live. So I can only give input which in no means may relate to your situation. Sorry.

Called crane tech line. Thye said they like one full turn and no more than 1.5 on a BBC. I will give that a shot.
