Default Whats the correct way to adjust rockers?

I have a 302 with cast iron heads (no rollers) I've been told that the way to adjust the rocker arms is to loosen while the engine is running until it starts clacking and then tighten ever so slightly until noise goes away. (A bit messy I'm told)
The manual says to just torque them down to 28ft lbs with the engine off.
Which is correct and or best?
Thanks
