Default Loose rocker? Tightening process in car

Finally got my brand new 461 home from the shop and on its first drive after breaking in and multiple test drives where everything sounded fine. I started to hear a loud ticking on its longest drive yet. Sounds to me like a loose rocker tapping and get much louder as rpms go up driving. .

I’m going to pull the valve cover and check them and tighten where necessary. Do you guys have any pro tips on doing this? Check push rod looseness and how much play should the rockers have? I was also thinking maybe the valve covers are to small and it might be hitting them. I can’t tell but when I pull them I will look for marks.

They are enduro 1.65 rollerized rockers

Thank you all as usual!
