Default 460 Valve adjustment

I am trying to make my current heads last 1 more summer, so I am re-tourquing the head bolts, and ajusting the valves. The manual for a '72 429/460 says to remove slack from the rocker, then torque to 18 - 20 lbs. This doesn't feel right to me, it feels like I am going too far. I have a moderate cam and matching valvetrain, all with 1500 miles on it all.

How do you adjust your valves (ho far do you torque them)

Thanks in advance for the help,
