Default Rocker clicking? Replace??

I have some valvetrain noise. My lifters & pushrods are going away eventually, so I'm not worried if they are the source.

My rockers might be sticking around. Is there any way to tell/inspect if a rocker is bad other than using your ear? The ear method, LOL, would be hard to tell what valvetrain component was making the noise to me.. just a general location...

How do you inspect rockers?? Anyone have a GM p/n? Wonder if they sell them onesy twosy..

If I pull all the rockers, can you find the bad one?

Thx!

Pull and do a visual. As BP said, roller needles missing or laying loose are a clear indication of a problem.
