unsteady valve clearances

I've recently bought a 1983 300D with (allegedly) about 140,000 miles. Upon checking the valve clearances, I found that there were none. All the valves were tight.

After adjusting the clearances, some of the valves' clearances would actually go tight again upon rotating the valve a bit. Do the adjusting cap nuts and/or rocker arms need replacing? Any advice will be most appreciated. Thanks!

Jerry
