When we had the motor out of the truck on the stand we tightened the valves this way.
I tightened the nut until I couldn't turn the pushrod with my fingers, then went 3/4 of a turn. That gave us the problem of the valves being open all the time "to tight". so we losened them all up while it was in the truck, and went back through and tightened them till the pushrod started to "drag".
I could still move then pushrod but there was some friction on it. Then I went a half turn more when I reached that point. One thing I should note is that when we had the motor on the stand there was no oil pressure. Now that we have had it running and had oil all the way to the top of the motor I'm wondering if that will change how we have to adjust those things.

I gotta ask this to. As far as the "lash" your talking about is that up and down movement of the pushrod, turning the pushrod, or if the rocker arms move side to side?
