Youre going to have to get a pushrod length tool and 1 rocker on to check it properly no way around it.

Thats one component you dont want to get wrong.
Buy some good 1 piece rods too, dont cheap out.

 

check out oepushrods they are in mt clemens,mi. they make alot of the pushrods other people are selling,they have checking tools also.my cylinder head guy told me about them years ago.

You need one of these:


And one of these so you dont compress the lifter instead of open the valve:


What you do is assemble one lifter, checker pushrod, rocker, checker spring, and valve. use a marker to color the top of the valve before putting the rocker arm on. Rotate the engine so it opens and closes the valve a couple times. The worn off marker should be in the middle of the valve top. If it is to one side or the other the pushrod is too long or too short, adjust it accordingly.

These are the one's I used in my build but you will need to measure. Check out the link below for pics and info on how I measured for mine. Scroll to the bottom.
