To adjust the tappets on a 327 engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and turned off. Then, remove the valve cover to access the rocker arms. Rotate the engine to bring the piston of the cylinder you are adjusting to top dead center on the compression stroke, then loosen the lock nut on the rocker arm and adjust the tappet until there is a slight resistance when rotating the pushrod between your fingers, typically about a half turn past zero lash before tightening the lock nut. Repeat this process for each cylinder, ensuring you adjust them in the correct firing order.

They are adjusted with shims. As you do not have a shim kit for this purpose and it would be expensive for you to buy one, take your Accord to a Honda dealer or mechanic who has a shim kit and have them adjust to valve lash. This is really not a DIY repair due to how it is done.
