Warm engine. Remove valve covers. Adjust while idling. Back off until you hear slight clacking. Tighten until clacking just quits and go 1/2 turn more.

There's no reason at all to adjust valves with the engine running...

I failed to mention that this is a rebuild with all new parts including lifters,pushrods,and rockers.

Re: 350 hydraulic lifter adjustment

No worries; all of the methods I listed still work...and as noted, you really don't want to adjust them running.
