How do you know if the rockers need adjusted?

Fired the car up yday and it seemed they were ticking a lot but I have no clue how muc his a little or a lot. I tightened them to a full turn after zero lash and double checked them all before I started it. Anyway I can tell if they are right or not?

a full turn? seems like a lot to me. When my car actually ran i did 1/8 of a turn and it seemed to be perfect.

Half of a turn past zero is ALL you want to go.
