'91 2.3 specs

My ranger has a tick in the valvetrain, it has the 2.3l 4cyl with 8spark plugs, and I'm looking for a valvetrain specs so i can adjust the rockers and check a few other things to find/fix the problem.

So get a Haynes manual. While this forum is a great resource, one should not be delving into that without the proper repair manuals.

Your valve train has hydraulic lifters as a part of the system. You may have a lifter going bad. A manual will help you troubleshoot the problem.

If I am reading the Ford Truck Shop Manual correctly, there is no adjustment on the rockers. To test valve adjustment, you need to collapse the lifter and check the tappet gap with the desired clearance being between 0.040 and 0.050," the limits being 0.035 to 0.055. Beyond that, cleaning or replacement of the lifter or the rocker arm, especially if the roller seems loose.
