I found a mini female hex driver (looks like a screwdriver & has a green top, other sizes are color coded) @SEARS to fit the recessed bolts that hold the opti to the alum housing, just bring it with you to sears test a couple till you find them.
For setting the RRs,

I prefer Method-3 using a $8 bump starter from AutoZone. Depending on your choice brand of lifters the pre-load might vary with what they recommend. Generally, most hyd lifters are set to a 1/4 preload once you find zero-lash.
