a valve tap by no means should sound like a diesel truck maybe some tapping from play but not like a diesel unless you have bigger problems then adjustment
well i could tell you the back yard way i learned how to but thats not correct so i will let someone chime in and tell you the correct way to adjust them i just hope its only adjustment problems for you last time i had a very loud tap from mine i had to have the heads machined due to some larger issues
I would pull the valve covers and check all the rockers,
there could be a few things wrong, loose stud - rocker pivot ball - loose adjusting nuts as the mileage is getting up there and tend to loosen up a bit.
