Default Need advice from someone who's rebuilt the 5.2 or 5.9!

so far every things been fitting like a glove. Question i have is the rocker arms on cylinder 1 shouldn't they be loose when cyl 1 is at TDC? I'm pretty sure i put cyl 1 at TDC when i set the cam and crank gears (cam at 6 crank at 12) i used a dial indicator to find TDC.
advice is appreciated thanks

6 and 12 is tdc for jug #6, 12 and 12 is tdc for Jug #1 The FSM uses 6&12 for setup timing chain reasons only.
