300/6 valve train noise

I have a 1979 f150 300/6 60,000 original miles. For some reason the previous owner had the head rebuilt. Now it has terrible valve train noise. Is there an easy way to adjust the clearance or do I need oversize push rods or different studs?
Thanks,
Don

Try this link. It is a scan from the ford factory manual. The picture is way to big, but you can save the page and shrink it yourself. I have just started working on the webpage and am still playing with the picture sizes. Mike
