You just jam it in there really hard and the valve opens an extra distance equal to whatever gauge you stuck in there. If you end up getting the valve to kiss the top of the piston, then the video gets extra views.  |

Brent, thanks for chiming in... Do think it is legit for me to check my solid rollers just by using a stethoscope most of the time or am I pissing in my shoes?

I would pull the valve covers and check them, hot, engine off, and run through on the IVC/EVO method.
Solid rollers can bite you hard when the lifters die, I would wanna know if lash changed even by .001-.002”. |

... and if you're going to set your solid lifters with the engine running, you might as well use a really big ass wrench on them to get some leverage.

Your car
Considering I don't own a car with solids and haven't in 50 years we should try it on yours. Where are you located? Didn't have rollers back then on the car which might make it a little harder. You are not going to tell me you pulled a valve cover just to take the wrench picture are you?
