Default 1987 head reinstall

OK so the heads are in the machine shop so im trying to get ready and be prepared to put them back on. I have my haynes manual but I wanted to know what kind of advice anyone could give on adjusting the rocker arms when i put the motor back together because i dont want any problems when I start the car Any tips would help because i dont want to f**k this car up....it is a corvette after no matter who much trouble its giving me.
