Default Valve Adjustment - Loud if too tight or too loose

Hey guys if I can here my valves make that click-click-click sound, are they too tight or too loose?

Ticking valves would be loose. Tight valves can cause compression loss and low RPM misfiring. The injectors also tick.

If the valves are too tight it will loose compression and have low rpm misfire ? How tight are we talking here ? I have a rough idle after I adjusted my valves.
