**** buying a tool. just get a sharpie and mark the top of the valve. and put it together and turn it over with the starter for a few seconds. then take the rocker arm off and check to see where its wearing. should be right in the middle. i have an old lifter i took all the hydraulics out of and made solid. to check this with. but if you havent put longer valves in or use a small base cam then youll be really close. sometimes decking the block and millings heads and variances in head gasket effect the pushrod length. but im sure youll be good.

well i do this stuff for a living and i try to help people out and then dude wants to try to make me look stupid. so yeah i got a fowl mouth. thats just me. instead of helping he wanted to make me look bad.
I'm not trying to be an *******...seriously. I'm all about helping people too, by giving them the whole story. But how exactly would you verify and adjust valvetrain geometry without measuring?
I'm asking this - How do YOU verify pushrod length without a checker? What's so hard to answer?

i like to check my valvtrain with the actuall parts i will be using. not a plastic tool. do it your way. but dont condemmine. but if i was him i would throw one intake and exhaust rocker arm and pushrod on there and check it with what i got. if its right you save alot of time and money. if its wrong then you should have enough common sense to know what size you need to go to. i just thought i would throw it out there how "I" do it. seems to work great for me.
i also appologize for the langauge. thats just how i am, doesnt mean im angry. i picked it up in the marines.

uh. yes. but usually you can get it close by knowing what you have. if you have a stock engine with .100 longer valves then guess what. you need .100 longer pushrods. its not rocket science. it seems like you guys are making this out to be harder than it needs to be.
