Unless you are dealing with grundgy older lifters that have internal  
deposits keeping the internal plunger from moving, Andy' method works fine. I  use 
the exact same method. I will suggest that you use only a breakerbar on  the 
socket that turns the "stud-nut", not a ratchet. The breaker bar will allow  you 
to move back and forth to really nail down the tightening point. That point  
where the rocker lash is taken up and the pushrod is being retained in  
rotational movement. The ratchet introduces vagueness to the actual point. Then  turn 
it down your required lash and you're done.  -Seth
