While doing it with the engine running isn't the best way, here's how.
Do one side at a time.
1) - Crank engine and give some time for it warm.
2) - If you suspect them to be too tight, then first loosen a rocker until you hear it clatter and tighten until the noise stops. Slowly tighten another 1/4-1/2 turn. Otherwise, just tighten noisy rocker until it quietens and tighten another 1/4-1/2 turn.
3) - Repeat for each and do other cylinder head.
4) - Clean up mess, because you made one.

(solids are way cheaper) as a motor starts the metal expanded (all if it and at different rates) the expansion make the valve stick open hot. this causes the lifters to hold the valve open all the time , causing them to glow red hot. to solve this issues. they invented valve lash , on all otto cycle engine for 100 years. called VALVE LASH or VALVE tip clearance. this lash must never be zero or interference at TDC . it must be loose (LASH) as the spark fires, and both valves closed 100% not 99%. the hydraulic lifters solve these issues by being automatic. they compensate for engine expansion. try wiki it has the whole history of this engine.
