5.0L valve adjustment

I was wondering if anyone knows the specs and procedure for adjusting the valves/rocker arms on 5.0L out of a 94 f150. Rocker arm torque specs? Thank you for the help!

I think that the only way of adjustment, was through the variable pushrod lenghts that are available...also used rods should go back in their original hole.
