Rocker Arm Adjustment

I think I read somewhere that the 6Liter doesn't have any rocker arm adjustment because the engine has a hydraulic cam following system...

Can any one confirm? Do the push rods stay slightly loose until the engine oil pressurizes?

the only way a pushrod will come loose is if you have a lifter losing its prime.being able to turn them is normal, but if youre getting up and down movement i would replace all the lifters, and check for wear on the pushrods and the rockers.

So when I assemble the rocker arms back in place there are no adjustments necessary? I'm use to adjusting the rocker assemblies with feeler gauges etc...
